They treat new customers as a threat
I registered on this platform with the sole objective of provisioning a specific high-performance bare-metal configuration (vbm-8c-64gb-amd), valued at roughly $400/month. At no point during registration it was stated that this hardware was gated behind an arbitrary 30-day probationary period. Instead, it's a multi-stage financial extraction process: first demanding a $5 card-linking deposit, then demanding a secondary $50 deposit to unlock instance creation, only to completely block the deployment with a "Monthly Fee Limit Reached" error after they had already secured my funds. To add to this administrative incompetence, the support team demanded proprietary project descriptions, provided broken links to non-existent pages, and ultimately told me I must spend an additional $250 on completely unneeded services over the next 30 days just to "earn" the right to rent the hardware I signed up for in the first place. Treating a customer who arrives with a $4,800 annual contract and then offering an account deletion link as a "solution"—is an embarrassing failure of customer acquisition and basic support etiquette. Just in case anyone from Vultr management is interesting: [Ticket:WIL-89EMZ]

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your onboarding experience did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be to sign up with a specific deployment goal in mind, only to encounter account limitations that were not anticipated. Certain high-value resources, including some bare metal configurations, may be subject to account eligibility requirements, spending limits, and review processes designed to protect the platform and our customers from fraud and abuse. However, we recognize that these requirements can be disappointing when they prevent immediate access to the resources you intended to deploy. We also understand your concerns regarding the funding requirements, account review process, and requests for additional information. While our teams may request details to better understand a proposed workload or verify account activity, we appreciate that the experience should be as transparent and efficient as possible. Your feedback regarding the clarity of our onboarding process, communication around account limitations, and your ticket will be shared with the appropriate teams for review. We would welcome the opportunity to take another look at your case. Please contact [email protected] and reference your ticket number so our team can review the account history and provide further assistance.
