From a very quick look I think the cheaper basic droplets have gone up 20%, but larger ones (such as the "general purpose droplets") have only gone up as little as 5%.
Edit:
Yes, it's only "Basic" droplets that have gone up 20%, everything else is only 5%.
- fideloper 4y agoI mean, $5 -> $6/mo is technically a 20% increase, but it's only because it's such a small amount to begin with. I haven't checked their pricing in a while but I think the $5/mo droplet used to be 512m but is now 1G ram, right? It sounds like there's also a $4/mo smaller droplet with 512m ram.
- nop_slide 4y agoThe $5 was 1G ram previously. I don't think there was a 512 option
- lb4r 4y agoThey used to have a 512M droplet for $5. After a few years they upped it to 1G, and you could upgrade for free.
- nop_slide 4y agogotcha, I've only been with them for 2 years so it's always been 1G for me
- jandrese 4y agoI actually got slightly burned when they did that update. I was doing deployments by "slug" (their term) and the old slug went up to $10/month when they created the new 1GB $5 droplet option. Now my system double checks the price before deploying a droplet.
- selcuka 4y agoIt was 512M before, then they doubled the specs of every droplet a few years ago.
- gamegod 4y agoIt's because the other types of Droplets are overpriced and less competitive to begin with.
