DigitalOcean is already more expensive for the same performance (as in, when you actually benchmark machines). I moved my workloads to Linode and cut my prices in half, so a 20% increase still leaves it as cheaper.

I suppose as usual it depends on what you're doing. For boring application hosting, DO has been indistinguishable from Linode performance-wise.

DO had excellent technical documentation, okay support (I really miss Linode's), and has been regularly churning out new products. For someone that doesn't like moving infrastructure around, they are a good long-term bet.

The apps I made were very CPU and Network intensive- in one case it was a web crawler[1], the other was a github application that had to scan and review repositories fairly often[2]. CPU ended up being the ultimate bottleneck, and Linode performed far better.
