- sparkzilla 13y agoI was on AWS for over a year. I moved to Digital Ocean. Much cheaper and much faster.
- rubyist_delight 13y agoExcept for the fact Digital Ocean doesn't take security seriously at all. It's good for testing small projects but to run a business on, no thanks. DO has a very small fraction of the features available that AWS does.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoAnd DigitalOcean doesn't have ELBs, or S3, or DNS service checks. Need I go on? Digital Ocean is good for small projects, cheap projects, or anything where you only need semi-reliable compute power.

- exhilaration 13y agoIf you're looker for cheaper and faster then http://ramnode.com/ http://ramnode.com/ is the VPS you want.
- diydsp 13y agowow, so here we are at the bottom of the page, below the grayed-out guy, but heh, ramnode looks cool - $2 per month!!! That's perfect for goof-off domains, silly projects, sandboxes and whatnot. Thanks!
- scott_karana 13y agoI've been using them for backup DNS. Great uptime, fast seeks, and I only need enough RAM for NSD to cache my zonefiles. Looking to move more serious projects on, but we'll see.
- vacri 13y agoA motorbike is faster and cheaper than a car, but you can't use it to carry as many people. Or cargo. Or protect you from the elements.
- asdasf 13y agoDO is not an alternative to AWS, it is an alternative to EC2. If you want to tell people not to use AWS, you have to provide an alternative to AWS. Even google's AWS-like offering is missing tons of things lots of AWS customers rely on.
- cmircea 13y agoWindows Azure, but it doesn't offer everything AWS has (though it does offer some stuff AWS doesn't have). It's not cheaper though.
