DigitalOcean hasn't been price-competitive in the VPS and baremetal server market in which there are quite literally hundreds if not thousands of players, most of whom offer better value than DO. DO is in a weird place - not as popular or feature-rich as the big clouds, but also not price-efficient enough to compete in the extremely price-sensitive VPS and baremetal market. I wonder what kind of startup decides on DO as their infra provider of choice.
