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.
