my fast webhosting cost me $14,99 monthly, your fast 2cpu+2gb ram vultr will cost you $20 /monthly and you must doing all things yourself .
I not need spend my time and energy to manage or fix problems on a vps server, so have a good fast webhositng with support is for me the better decision.
I want solutions who make my life easier not harder and I have an dedicated ip (well will see it if that is a seo benefit..) .
So when you reading the horrendous Bing guidelines to get indexing in Bing, it sounds like upraise your quality standard is the way which includes an dedicated ip (my personal view) I be sure have an dedicated ip is an quality factor.
Same with the wordpress themes used by millions of people.....have an different coded theme for you will make you more different (my theory) and so on, etc,etc...
Speak for an vps use google was for me (as a test phase) better then any of vultr or DO, or Hetzner , Azure their ssh console not worked for me many commands denied. I must doing an ssh console setup to get this to work I was not able, but with google cloud, google is doing this setup automatically when you create a instance, then when you open their ssh console all what you must do is type in your commands voila! No technical issues with commands = denied, password denied, ssh keys denied whatsoever of this crap today.
But google cloud instance not has DDOS protection -a big downside.
