VPSie.com VPS Cloud Server Hosting BEATS both DigitalOcean and Vultr !!

I'm a current active customer of both DigitalOcean and Vultr - Digitalocean started about 2 years ago and was a pioneer in the automated KVM VPS offering model then a year and half after Vultr has blindly copied the model and even the website was a complete copy of DigitalOcean site..
Also DigitalOcean has changed the site design and guess what again Vultr did a complete blind copy of the new interface which I see shameful for them.

I wonder why DO didn't sue them for copyright violations - here are some archived screenshots:

 I was invited recently by couple of my friends to a cloud provider called VPSie.com - Based on the invitation received I was entitled to $24 in free credit "Had to verify my billing info by entering my credit card".

I noticed that they only allow new users by invitation and they claim that this is to control and maintain client based quality however I think this is a smart way of growth control.

I'm Impressed!! Really VPSie has provided the best of both DO and Vultr - here is why:

1- Very nice / Fast interface. - as compared to ugly one in Vultr and good one in DO.

2- Spin up time for a linux machine is 26 seconds. as compared to 5 minutes in Vultr and 55 seconds in DO.

3- SSD disk speed ~670MB/s ( stunned) as compared to ~430MB/s Vultr and ~240MB/s with DO.

4- Starting price is $4/month to give 1 CPU Core / 512M memory and 10GB SSD storage as compared to 1CPU core , 768M memory and 15GB SSD for $5/month @ Vultr and 512MB 1 CPU core for $5/month @ DO.

5- Ability to resize on the fly - without reboot - You can resize any component Disk , CPU or Memory which is great for flexibility.

6- They support ISO upload same as Vultr and DO lack of this feature.

7- Windows spinup time is 3 minutes as to 15 minutes compared to Vultr - DO doesn't support Windows platform.

8- Premade apps like cPanel, GitLab and many more - as opposite to none on Vultr and similar on DO side.

9- I have been with them for about 2 months (Almost) and  uptime has been 100% so far as compared to high latency on Vultr and ongoing issues with DO network.

10- Usage graphs for Vultr is as ugly as it gets (only Bandwidth) - DO did a nice job there but VPSie seem to still beat them on the beauty of the graphs.

11- Restore option takes almost half what it takes with DO and a fraction of the time with Vultr.

12- They offer live support by chat and phone and helpdesk tickets,  Yes 24/7 support... unheard of with this model, My ticket got a response after 12 minutes as opposite to 1 day with Vultr and 3 days in DO.

Based on those factors I can foresee that they will have a good share in the market if they sustain the same quality level.

Conclusion: I think DO started but now failing due to degrading service quality - Vultr offered low quality since day one with no innovation however they have many locations - and now VPSie seems to be the right choice to recommend for anyone would be interested in a reliable hosting.
