2021年09月20日，Vultr发布新闻公告，称将于10月1日起对快照收费，此前一直都是提供免费快照；不过按照定价标准，每月0.05美元/GB不算贵。以下为公告原文以及简单翻译：
What you need to know:
Vultr will begin charging for snapshot storage in October, with charges reflected on November 1st invoices
Snapshot storage will cost $0.05/GB per month, which is the same or less than other cloud providers
Over 90% of Vultr customers will see less than a 2% increase in their monthly invoice, and most customers’ invoices will see less than a 1% increase, if there is an increase
You can easily lower, or completely eliminate your snapshot costs by deleting old snapshots from your account
Why is Vultr making this change?
Vultr now has hundreds of thousands of customers, with millions of cloud instances deployed. Because snapshot storage was previously free, users tended to leave old snapshots in their accounts indefinitely (we get it – we would too if it was free!).
Unfortunately, these snapshots take up real disk space, which is expensive to provide. With more new users every day, and 18 locations around the world, it is no longer possible to provide free storage for the rapidly-growing number of old and unused snapshots.
We would rather give our customers more capacity in more locations, globally, than spend money storing old snapshots.
How was pricing set?
We priced snapshot storage the same or less than other cloud providers at $0.05/GB per month. This allows us to cover the cost of physical storage, and continue to keep your cloud computing costs low.
Should I still use snapshots?
Absolutely! Snapshots are great for rolling-back changes, disaster recovery, or replicating your deployments quickly. For more information on how to use snapshots in Vultr, see our documentation.
What if I have a lot of snapshots?
If you would like to discuss your snapshot storage with us, please open a support ticket here and we will be happy to look at your account and discuss options.
你需要知道的：
Vultr 将于10月开始对快照存储收费，费用反映在11月1日的发票上
快照存储每月费用为0.05美元/GB，与其他云提供商相同或更低
超过90%的 Vultr 客户会看到他们的月度发票增加不到2%，如果有增加，大多数客户的发票会看到不到1%的增长
通过从帐户中删除旧快照，您可以轻松降低或完全消除快照成本
为什么 Vultr 会做出这样的改变？
Vultr 现在拥有数十万客户，部署了数百万个云实例。因为快照存储以前是免费的，所以用户倾向于无限期地将旧快照留在他们的帐户中（我们明白了 – 如果它是免费的，我们也会这样做！）。
不幸的是，这些快照占用了真实的磁盘空间，提供起来很昂贵。随着每天都有更多的新用户和全球18个地点，不再可能为快速增长的旧快照和未使用快照提供免费存储。
我们宁愿在全球更多地点为我们的客户提供更多容量，也不愿花钱存储旧快照。
定价是如何确定的？
我们对快照存储的定价与其他云提供商相同或更低，每月0.05美元/GB。这使我们能够承担物理存储的成本，并继续使您的云计算成本保持在较低水平。
我还应该使用快照吗？
绝对地！快照非常适合回滚更改、灾难恢复或快速复制您的部署。有关如何在 Vultr 中使用快照的更多信息，请参阅我们的文档。
如果我有很多快照怎么办？
如果您想与我们讨论您的快照存储，请在此处打开支持票，我们将很乐意查看您的帐户并讨论选项。
