Tempting, but no IPv6. That's a deal breaker for infrastructure. I don't want to have to revisit machines later.

I'm also a little nervous about the unlimited bandwidth. That seems like it will attract bulk data movers that could affect my traffic. There is no mention of fairness, link utilization, or any kind of traffic allocation policy. I could benchmark it today, but that doesn't help me tomorrow.

Still, interesting enough to add to the list of options with the next project.

IPv6 is slated for sometime later in 2013, we've had a lot of customers request it and probably closer to Spring / Summer we will be testing it.

As for unlimited bandwidth that is something we offered because we didn't have time to write bandwidth accounting and wanted to focus development on the core service more, we figured that was more important for us in the short run.

We will be switching to paid bandwidth in the future and offering bundled packages with each server and then a simple flat per GB price after that.

For work stuff, I have to agree. For play/hobby stuff, I could see jumping on this the next time I need a VM for experimentation.

Excellent work, DigitalOcean!
