I switched my personal projects from linode to digital ocean, for pricing but the performance is out of this world. The pricing allows me to run 4-5 of my projects for the same cost where I was at times maxing out the low-grade linode box that I had.

I later switched all my office's projects there from AWS and cut costs by over 85%. I also saw a significant performance bump allowing me to reduce the number of machines that I had active.

I cannot overstate how pleased I have been, their APIs compete with EC2, their performance is better than what I have seen on any competitor.

I am one very pleased customer. My _only_ complaint is that they aren't delivering on features at the rate they previously were. Though, after reading this article, I can understand a little better as to why.

You hit the nail on the head =]

The growth has been fantastic and we are super excited. Unfortunately managing it requires as much work as engineering new features. The good news is we've been hiring and growing the team and we're hopeful we'll get back to our regular development schedule in the next 2 months after we've gotten everyone up to speed and worked out some of the speed bumps. =]
