Absolutely agreed / my 2 cents.
I'm a scientist turned pseudo-programmer, and need to manage a few servers for my team / start up. We are too small & early to be able to afford or justify a dedicated administrator, and our requirements are mostly WordPress based sites and a database server for internal use, etc.
I've tried to use vultr, linode, AWS.
But DO's interface and the wonderful, comprehensive support documents are a huge huge differentiator.
We aren't using too many instances, (just 3, nothing complex, no webapps). And, with their interface and support docs, this is something I've managed to do on my own without any major issues. And I suspect I'm not the only one in such a situation..
I was ok with the older prices; with the new, lower rates, I'm not even going to consider moving, even if the competitors are at 1/2 the cost. It's not worth the little money I might save...
