I probably should have expressed myself more clearly. All that I meant is that lower-cost VPS providers (including Vultr) sell *unmanaged* services, so you're expected to manage your VPS. Nevertheless, depending on the provider and the question, sometimes they're willing to help with certain questions regarding well-known Linux distributions. For example, if your question is "How do I set up IPv6 on Debian?", a lower-cost provider may be willing to help (despite the fact that the VPS is unmanaged), whereas if your question is "How do I set up IPv6 on NetBSD?", you're really on your own simply because most lower-cost VPS providers don't have (much) experience with *BSD.
