I'm very interested in hearing more about DO vs Linode performance, as someone torn between both providers.

It's really hard to generalize. Each provider has different physical hardware with different neighbors and even multiple data centers.

> I'm very interested in hearing more about DO vs Linode performance, as someone torn between both providers. For me it wasn't solely performance or price, but additional features. Linode's control panel has a fair few features, and they have an API, but there doesn't seem to be many major users of that API. Being able to deploy test machines to DO via Vagrant and then build my real boxes with Packer is a huge, huge plus for me as a solo dev. I'm also sitting on a 4Mbit/.8Mbit DSL pipe here in Australia and not having to upload an entire machine image is obviously a positive. And worst case, if DO somehow falls over, I can change a couple of lines and deploy to EC2 to keep things running. Building images for Linode wouldn't give me anywhere near that flexibility.

Linode are a clear winner on everything else. Is I/O your number one priority or you do also need IPV6, a host that doesn't censor, etc?

These might help: DigitalOcean $5/mo plan - http://serverbear.com/1990-2gb-ssd--2-cpu-digitalocean http://serverbear.com/1990-2gb-ssd--2-cpu-digitalocean DO $10/mo plan - http://serverbear.com/1989-1gb-ssd--1-cpu-digitalocean http://serverbear.com/1989-1gb-ssd--1-cpu-digitalocean DO $20/mo plan - http://serverbear.com/1990-2gb-ssd--2-cpu-digitalocean http://serverbear.com/1990-2gb-ssd--2-cpu-digitalocean Linode $20/mo plan - http://serverbear.com/10-linode-1gb-linode http://serverbear.com/10-linode-1gb-linode That site also gives each product a score out of 100 which scales depending on how much it costs. DO seems to do really well at the low end.
