The free credit limit is very leass and I believe 100$ free credit is not enough for learning and implementing other stuffs.

VULTR makes it very difficult to meaningfully pause or migrate data. Stopping a server does not pause billing, and when you need to wind down a project they make it difficult to download an image of your server.
