I use to be on Digital Ocean until Linode had their latest round of
"increasing the RAM while keeping the price the same" (which Linode does
every couple of years). Now a 1GB RAM droplet is $10.00/month, while a
1GB RAM Linode is $5.00/month (so you *can* beat DO's price). I haven't
had a bad experience with Linode's customer service, either.
