I'm a customer at linode, vultr, and digital ocean, and digital ocean (over the last 6 years in their NYC datacenter) has had exceptional uptime and physical host integrity. I've never had cycles stolen by "noisy neighbors" (as has happened at Linode) or lost a server (as is to be expected on EC2). Their unixbench scores are great (fast disks and CPUs). All that said -- you want use a new product, expect to pay the pioneer tax. Their CDN is even greener (no built-in GZIP, broken CORs header forwarding, only pulls from DO spaces, no CNAME mapping) but the bandwidth is free/dirt cheap. They are very upfront about their offering, and don't seem to be over promising, or over selling. You get what you pay for, and I am ok with that.
