Monthly is the only way I sleep now. Learned the hard way.

Following.

I am late but: the fake Vultr email minhdock described, I got one too. The giveaway was that it threatened "account suspension in 24 hours" and I knew my billing cycle was not due for two weeks.

Urgency is the universal red flag. Real companies give you weeks. Scammers give you hours.

I just use a VPN tunnel to Cloudflare. WireGuard from my home Knot to their anycast. Stable IPs, encrypted AXFR, no ACL headaches.

Downside: another moving part. Upside: I sleep through IP changes.
