I've been using them for 6 years with their 5$/month droplet.
I am going to be upgraded to 6$ month droplet and forced into 5GB extra SSD space which I don't want or need.
Honestly this doesn't make sense, the price of hardware + their economies of scale should bring prices down if anything, they nowhere explained what's going on, am I paying for the CEO's bonus?
I'll probably switch off, it's a shame I liked how developer first they were.
- latchkey 4y agoYour complaint is over $12 a year? Come on... they've provided you a reliable service for 6 years and now you have to pay $1 more a month and that is enough to drive you away?
- nichochar 4y agoMy complaint is 20% increase with no added value. Why do you look at the absolute cost rather than the relative? Competition looks better (like fly.io). I think the company is stale and greedy, otherwise prices wouldn't be going up.
- latchkey 4y agoBecause what matters is that you've gotten a good service for the last 6 years at a very competitive price. A 20% increase, one time in 6 years is still extremely good. They don't need to add value, they need to stay in operation while navigating the ocean of rising costs. Let's see if their competitors can match that... oh wait, they haven't been around that long.
- JanSt 4y agoHow much did energy prices rise in 5 years? Their employees salaries? I think it‘s fair and still cheap.
- nichochar 4y agoWhy the hell would I pay for their employee salaries if the service hasn't changed? They likely hired people to pay for features I don't use, and gave executive bonuses. As I said, I'm happy for them to make more money, but if I'm getting out of it why should I be the one paying? This is really weird thinking that you guys have.
