I tried DO after using Linode for a few years, and DO felt more polished and streamlined. DO's docs are great, too. But I honestly have no complaints with Linode. Note that I'm just running Nginx on a $5/mo VPS.
- prirun 5y agoI've had a Linode for many years with no problems, and have had to use their excellent phone service once. I tried DO and hated it because they used a zillion 3rd-party services on all their internal web pages (after being signed in) so I was in a constant battle enabling things with NoScript. I have a small Vultr VM I use for testing. Their site didn't require enabling a bunch of 3rd-party domains. They've been rock solid as well, like Linode, and cheap as dirt: I have a small VM with IP4 from years ago for $2.50/mo
- seanw444 5y agoYou may have convinced me to move over to Vultr.
- ipaddr 5y agoThat doesn't include a ip4 address and you can't point a domain to it. I have two grandfathered 2.50 packages with an ip (no domain pointing).. no issues ever but it's a playground not a production box for me.
- bombcar 5y agoHow can you have an ip that can’t be pointed to by a domain?
- seanw444 5y agoI'm curious about this too. Just... point to it on Namecheap's DNS configurator page?
- ThatPlayer 5y agoIf all you need is web traffic, I've seen some use Cloudflare's proxy, which does support ipv6 as the origin.
