And you dont pay more for less. That's what AWS and GCP are. Vultr and D.O. are basically the same in terms of price. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On December 17, 2018 10:32:16 AM EST, "Beddingfield, Allen via Ale" <ale@ale.org> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
