Do they have IPv6 yet?
What about actual security too?
Maybe they'll stop the censorship if they want to be a real VPS player? (https://vpsexperience.wordpress.com/ https://vpsexperience.wordpress.com/)
Oh, and I wish they'd use real industry terms, not stuff like 'Droplet'. That's just stupid.
Right now, anyone at all who aren't GoDaddy or Network Solutions are better than Digital Ocean. You get what you pay for (AWS excepted, who are price gouging).
Full disclosure: Happy Linode customer.
- broodbucket 13y agoNews story about a cloud hosting provider? Here's some dissenting opinions about them. Half of them have some sort of merit. Disclosure: I have a vested interest in their direct competitor. Seriously, man? You point out some valid things but this post doesn't really serve a purpose.
- blueskin_ 13y agoNo IPv6 is fairly serious. As is censorship to the point I wouldn't feel comfortable using them in case I angered Big Google at some point. Their general lack of HA and resource shortages make them look like amateurs. So what if I use Linode? I don't work for them. I use two other providers as well. My 'vested interest' in them is limited to my VPS there running. I don't get a discount for pointing out DO sucks and Linode don't ban me if I speak ill of someone they like. PS. Is a VPS host really a 'cloud hosting provider'? That term makes me think of overpriced individual services that aren't a self contained system, like AWS/EBS/their hosted databases.
- thejosh 13y agoHappy Linode customer, who gets hacked constantly and lies about it... Hmmmmmmmmm....
- blueskin_ 13y agoExcuse me? I've never been cracked, and chances are I know/care more about security than the average user here. Either you've misidentified me or you're lying about me.
