Gonna fly now: why I've left Silicon Valley’s lions for Vultr

Here’s the meat:

> No VC funding.

> Over a million paying customers.

Now you’ve got my attention. I’d be interested to know what their tactics were for getting their first 100, and 1000, and 10,000 users.

DigitalOcean was a huge disappointment to me in terms of the quality of their offerings, particularly the Spaces product. I can’t imagine anyone doing anything serious on that cloud. Hope the author takes the gloves off at some point and explains how Vultr isn’t repeating those mistakes, as that’s the big reason the “Other” category in cloud computing continues to decline.

Do you ever feel like an underdog? And that sometimes all that’s left is scraps?

If you can relate, then I think you’ll enjoy my story.
