November 2022 Summaries

Vultr has announced a new global bandwidth pricing plan aimed at making cloud computing more accessible and affordable. The plan includes two terabytes of free monthly outbound data transfer and free inbound data transfer for all customers, along with global account-level pooling of transfer across all instances and locations. This move simplifies pricing by offering a reduced worldwide egress overage rate of $0.01 per GB, a strategy designed to reduce complexity and unpredictability in billing that often burdens IT operations and finance teams. By eliminating variable bandwidth overage charges, Vultr aims to provide a more predictable and transparent cost structure, thus enhancing value and ease of use for developers, IT operations, and finance departments. This change comes at a time when many providers are increasing prices, highlighting Vultr's commitment to offering competitive price-to-performance ratios and expanding their global cloud data center locations.
