Update Vultr

Going well so far. Site is actually faster according to the debug stats than it was when running on Linode and DigitalOcean.

I tested the site on their London facility. The page generation increased from 0.05 on the forum home to ~0.17/0.2, so almost 4 times slower than in their France site.
 
I think this is due to the increase latency between the VMs

I've just moved my final customer OFF Vultr after nothing but problems. They randomly reload their host nodes without telling you, they have broken their own private networking (and changed how you need to configure it....without telling people), so enough is enough.

haven't had that happen but Vultr has lowered their cpu specs from 3.4+Ghz to 2.4Ghz and lower disk performing configs too. Everytime i have tested London Vultr it's been slower performing too - currently have a London Vultr location for my new centminmod.com cluster I am building across several geographical locations including Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, New York, New Jersey, London, Sydney and Singapore.

So Matt who are you using for London VPS now ?
 
I see $20/month bit beyond my budget seeing as each geographic region I will have my own load balanced cluster too :)
 
This is currently on a £36 a month VPS from them (my dev server). I'm going to message you some info about the specific issues with Vultr.

eva2000 any good tut for creating clusters? I am a total noob when it comes to these things :D
there's so many ways of doing this so really comes down to googling and practise - load balancing can be done from nginx or haproxy itself, dns level need geodns support like with dnsmadeeasy or route53 and mysql from replication, galera cluster, mysql cluster, tungsten replicator replication etc.

i am using private git backed repository to keep configuration management easier to deploy my site to new VPS cluster nodes - takes me 10-20mins to install Centmin Mod .08 beta03 latest LEMP stack and 5-10min to setup site nginx/spdy ssl and deploy another git repository for site files. Centmin Mod .08 beta03 has new nv command line to create new domains and sites so you set a up new domain with just one line
Code:
/usr/bin/nv -d newdomain.com -s y -u ftpusername
so to install centmin mod + new site domain newdomain.com in 2 command lines
Code:
curl -sL http://centminmod.com/betainstaller.sh | bash;
/usr/bin/nv -d newdomain.com -s y -u ftpusername
