Vultr

Vultr is another entry in the SSD-Powered VPS market and offers similar features and functionality as the other VPS providers, but for slightly less money. You get 100% SSD Storage, Ultra fast Intel CPUs and 14 low latency locations.

After creating an account and navigating to the Vultr Control Manager, click on the Deploy tab. Leave the server type on Compute Instances and choose a location:

Next select the Operating System from the list available. We have selected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to be consistent with the other guides and because it's the latests, very popular, reliable, and well supported distribution.

For the Server Size you can pick a size that is appropriate for you but Grav will run great on any of them. For the sake of this guide, we'll use the 1 CPU, 1GB memory option that is currently priced at $8/month.

You can choose any optional features you would like, and then provide a simple Server Label to identify the VPS instance. We'll use Grav. Then click Place Order to create and install the server.

After a minute or so, your server should be ready and you can click the manage link next to your server in the list to get the server details. On this page you will be shown a control panel for the server that lets you control the state, along with the initial root username and password. You can can SSH via the command provided in this tab using the password you entered when you created the distribution instance. Public key authentication is recommended, and Vultur has SSH public key authentication documentation that walks you through the steps required.
