Overview
Vultr operates cloud locations across six continents and offers cloud compute, bare metal, Vultr Kubernetes Engine, block storage, S3-compatible object storage, managed databases, load balancers and VPC networking. Cloud GPU plans published on the pricing page include NVIDIA HGX H100 (from $2.30 per GPU-hour in 8-GPU configurations), L40S (from $1.671 per GPU-hour), GH200, B200 and AMD Instinct accelerators. GPU plans bill hourly on a 730-hour month. Vultr's Kubernetes product shares the "VKE" abbreviation with another managed Kubernetes product; they are unrelated.
GPU prices read from the Vultr pricing page; billing model from Vultr Docs (updated 26 Oct 2026). Audit-logging and NAT capabilities were not assessed and are recorded as unverified.

Frequently asked questions
Is Vultr Kubernetes Engine the same as PortvMind VKE?
No. Both use the abbreviation VKE, but Vultr Kubernetes Engine is Vultr's managed Kubernetes and VKE on PortvMind Cloud is a different managed Kubernetes product. They are unrelated.
