Does somebody has user experiences about Digital Ocean and Linode? I heard that Linode is known to be more stable and that Digital Ocean had servers offline for some hours even without informing customers. Any insights or user experiences here?
- jsherer 12y agoI run https://minimalreader.com/ https://minimalreader.com/ on Digital Ocean. They do have moments of downtime every now and then, the most severe being 12 hours of severe network issues back in October 2013. Since then, I have rarely had issues with my Droplets in the NYC datacenters. You can see their status page for all of the issues they've reported: https://status.digitalocean.com/ https://status.digitalocean.com/ (mostly network connectivity issues) Feel free get in touch (email in profile) if you want to talk more about my experience with DO and how I try to architect around their network issues.
- chadcf 12y agoI switched from Linode to Digital Ocean a few weeks ago. It's mostly for personal sites and hobby projects, so cheaper is better and $20 vs $5 is a no brainer. I've not had any issues, their support is great, performance has been great, no complaints. But obviously I'm not using it for anything critical...
