One would think why Digital Ocean is first to come to my mind.
- wheaties 13y agoThat was my first thought. DO gives SSD drives. That's a pretty enticing offer, in and of itself. The only downside is that it appears that a lot of SaaS providers are already on Amazon, meaning your network times more than likely benefit. Would love to hear about more people on both.
- AndyKelley 13y agoI saw this article in hacker news today, and noticed somebody mentioning digital ocean. I switched one of my servers over to digital ocean to try it out. The process was smooth and enjoyable, and now I'm spending less than half as much as I was with EC2. I even got to try their recovery console after I mistakenly deleted the root password without first giving myself sudo. Worked like a charm.
- amorphid 13y agoIt wouldn't surprise me to see Digital Ocean get picked up by Amazon at some point. Amazon loves a high growth, low margin business model.
