The Sovereign Vultr Alternative in India
Indian regions, American billing. DataDack gives you both sides in rupees.
Should you switch from Vultr?
Vultr has Indian capacity, so the question is the contract, not the packets. Move to DataDack for a rupee invoice with GST, an Indian entity under Indian jurisdiction, and L3/L4 DDoS protection included rather than sold as an add-on.
Who should move, and who should stay
Switch to DataDack if
- Indian businesses needing an Indian entity and GST invoice
- Teams paying separately for DDoS protection
- Workloads that must sit under Indian jurisdiction
Stay on Vultr if
- You use Vultr's global region spread
- You are happy with USD billing and your current setup
- You need bare metal in markets DataDack does not serve

Moving off Vultr, step by step
- Step 1Inventory what runs on Vultr today — instance sizes, disks, open ports and DNS records.
- Step 2Pick the matched DataDack plan and create the instance in the console, in the Noida ap-south-3 region.
- Step 3Move the data: restore from a snapshot or image, or sync the application and database over the VPC.
- Step 4Lower the DNS TTL, cut traffic over to the new IPv4 and verify, then destroy the source instance — billing stops the same hour.
What carries over unchanged
A move off Vultr is a re-host, not a rewrite. These come with you as they are:
- Your Linux distro and kernel
- Docker and docker-compose files
- Nginx, Caddy or HAProxy configs
- Your CI pipeline - only the deploy target changes
- SSH keys and your existing automation
- Postgres, MySQL, Redis and their dumps
- Cron jobs and systemd units
- Your domain and TLS certificates
DataDack vs Vultr: common questions
- How does DataDack's pricing compare with Vultr?
- DataDack bills a flat INR amount with a GST invoice rather than a USD card charge plus conversion fees, and charges no egress. Compare a matched instance on the pricing page for the current figure.
- Where do my workloads run after moving off Vultr?
- In the sovereign Noida region (ap-south-3), inside Tier-IV facilities operated by Yotta NM1 and CtrlS. Data stays in Indian jurisdiction, which is what makes DataDack DPDP-compliant by default rather than by configuration.
- Is DDoS protection an extra like it is elsewhere?
- No. Always-on Layer 3 / Layer 4 mitigation is standard on every VPS and VM, including the Starter tier, and is never a paid add-on.
- Are there egress or bandwidth charges?
- No surprise egress invoices. Generous transfer is included with every plan and internal VPC traffic is unmetered.
- How long does a migration from Vultr take?
- Most single-instance moves are done in an afternoon: create the matched plan, restore your image or sync the app, then cut DNS over. Our engineers will do the first instance with you — ask on /contact before you start.
