Kicking Off the New Year with New Droplet Plans

• Elect2 9y ago
  Good news. Seems they have removed "high-memory droplets"

  TL;DR: They doubled the RAM and increased the SSD storage in all their plans, and added a flexible $15/month plan, and a $240/month and $960/month plans. If you already had an account at DO you have to resize the droplet yourself. It won't be done automatically "In order to avoid impact on current applications".

  I found this interesting: "Coming Soon: Per-Second Billing" Spinning up instances for short tasks could be beneficial.

  This seems like a way to get customers to self-migrate droplets off of hypervisors vulnerable to meltdown/spectre

  If we consider the smallest droplet size, Digital Ocean now offers 1 GB RAM/25 GB SSD for $5/mo as opposed to 512 GB RAM/20 GB SSD that it used to offer earlier at the same price. Linode, however, has been providing a 1 GB RAM/20 GB SSD plan for $5/mo for about a year now. The new Digital Ocean plans puts its pricing at par with that of Linode. In fact, Digital Ocean is a little bit cheaper than Linode now if you care about the additional 5 GB SSD storage.
