RE: Witness Update: A sample of my upcoming expose' on potential witness rank gaming and my response to my nomination by another witness, @guiltyparties for the "Witness-blocks challenge"

I use vultr for a webserver (not for Steem witnessing) and they are impressive from a performance perspective, but I agree they are too pricey and especially for witnessing. I currently pay under $100 per month for 96GB RAM in LA. I recommend checking out the industry forums for better deals - it may take a few days and the deals come and go every day.
