Their support also leaves a lot to be desired. Had a persistent network problem due to a misconfiguration of their system and it took two weeks of back and forth before they really looked into it.

Are Vuktr and DigitalOcean related in any way? their websites look really similar down to the animation that shows you how to create a new droplet/server.

No, Vultr is a spin off of choopa. DO and them have nothing to do with each other.

No, but they've always ripped off the site like that, either on purpose or not. It was worse when the company just came out.

Looking at their DNS setup workflow[1] and API functions[2] I don't see any step where you would have to verify domain ownership - which is this whole thing is about, isn't it?

I was providing an example of a host that provides FreeBSD support. To be clear, I don't think Vultr is a good host so I'm not really sure why I mentioned them to be honest...
