August 2014 Summaries

Vultr has announced an increase in bandwidth allocations for its cloud server customers in Australia and Japan, doubling the base plan from 100GB to 200GB at no extra cost. Overages have been reduced to $0.05 per GB in Japan and $0.10 per GB in Australia, and these changes will be applied automatically to all existing instances.

Vultr has expanded its 100% SSD VPS hosting services to Miami, Florida, allowing users to launch high-performance cloud servers in the Miami datacenter. This new location offers excellent connectivity to Brazil and all of Central and South America. The company encourages users to provide feedback via Twitter and is continuing its global expansion, promising additional locations in the future. Hosting in Miami is available at a rate of $0.007 per hour.

Vultr has introduced a new feature that allows users to limit bandwidth overage on high-performance virtual machines (VMs) by enabling monitoring and setting an automated stop when a specified percentage of the VM's bandwidth plan is consumed. This tool complements existing bandwidth usage alerts and aims to help users manage their resources more effectively. To activate this feature, users can navigate to the settings section of the Vultr Console.

Vultr.com has launched a redesigned website and is offering new accounts $5 in free credit after they link a payment method, enabling users to try its services. The company also says additional features and points of presence are planned, and invites feedback through its Twitter account, @Vultr.
