Its the first half of 2018 bt we can see a lot of development in the prices of the vistual private servers. The main one being DigitalOcean going back on top and eating the competition by slashing their prices in half. Well done DigitalOcean.

We can also see VPS prices going as low as $2.50. However, don't be too happy. On Vultr, it looks to be a marketing trick. When you try to order an instance at this price, these always appear as "Sold Out". Shame on you Vultr.
