I have not minded paying that markup for the WordPress applications because the benefits justify the cost quite easily. (They are fully optimized for WordPress with Nginx and Varnish).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>However I was looking at trying out a Vultr server directly for non-WordPress stuff and I noticed they offer an “any ISO” setup where you can provide an OS ISO and they will install it into their platform. Has anyone tried to use BlueOnyx with Vultr? Seems a like it might be an interesting option for some seriously fast SSD based cloud servers at a reasonable cost.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>______________________________<br>M Aronoff Out – <a href="mailto:maronoff@gmail.com"><span style='color:blue'>maronoff@gmail.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.<br> - <a href="http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/31912.html"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>Thomas Jefferson</span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
