yeah I was a linode user for few years and am using digitalocean and I've never looked back. I think the droplet API is by far the most powerful feature, it's so simple to use and understand compared to Amazon. For example, if I need a new development box to test something out I can spin up a new droplet and shut it down when I no longer need it and save the money. It's pretty insane how much of a cost save DO offers.
- simcop2387 13y agoThat's one use case I can definitely see being for DO but doesn't make as much sense for me. I've just got the linode for handling random services (VPN, IMAP, WWW, and a few others) and need it up constantly. For dev work I've always got a local machine that has enough ram and storage to do that instantly right next to me and not have to deal payment for it.
- dhimes 13y agoThis was my use case also until recently. Unfortunately, the dev box is behind a dynamic ip. I use a following service (dnsdynamic.org), but it's not 100% reliable, so when it became time to make things available to other players I went DO for a $5 box.
