I've just had one small $5 VPS with them for about a year now. No downtime, no complaints. Since my needs are so basic I think I could probably get away with one of these $2.50 offerings, however the problem - and it's the only problem I've run in to with Vultr so far - is that downgrading VPS plans isn't possible. You can only go up.

Snapshot your current running instance and create a new $2.50/month server using that snapshot.

Works fine, I just moved a site from $5 to $2.50 without issues.

Why not spin up a new one and recreate your configuration? Only weak point is if they don't let you move the IP
