      This means things like Elastix should be a snap to setup on their infrastructure.

        Absolutely. And CentOS 5 is available too, for things like Elastix 2.

          That is one of the advantages of not having paravirtalization and going with KVM full virtualization, custom ISOs are easy.

            Is there a cost difference?

              Awesome. So in theory you could do your on backups (via unitrends etc.) and boot via the recovery media to restore if needed.

                Yes. Completely different offerings between the two.

                  In theory. We would need to test that to see if there are any roadblocks.

                        For big storage, this stuff is pretty cheap. You can add on other kinds of storage too.

                          Dang $240/year to run a pretty decent fileserver (500gb) for most SMBs that could put all their files in the cloud if that don't have anything too big or a crappy connection. Not a bad price at all.

                            Yup, it's some amazing storage price points.

                              Also, that base SATA package is 1vCPU and 512 RAM, that is a phone system there.

                              Way more phone system than most SMB need. and it is only $5/month

                                You get a better phone system with the other package. $5/mo on the performance rather than the storage option gets you more memory and faster IO for the same money.

                                  Same price points as Digital Ocean too.

                                    Well it is day two and already our Vultr server is offline. We can see the console, the box is up and running, but it has lost network access.

                                      Rebooted and we are back up. But for an idle Linux box to lose networking after one day with nothing running on it is pretty fishy. Going to keep monitoring this. We've never seen this happen with another provider before.

                                        From the SAR report, it has rebooted three times! Twice without us. Argh.

                                          Our Vultr system is down... AGAIN. This is not boding well. Looking into it now, but it has only been a few hours and it is offline again.

                                            Confirmed, the IPv4 address is blank. It's losing its DHCP.
