My experience is the reverse. My $5 DO server running almost identical software responds much faster than my Linode server. The Linode server is far, far closer to me geographically.

I have put this down to the DO SSDs. It will be interesting to see if this is true. I've been considering migrating from Lindoe to DO because they were faster and cheaper.

I've had 2 DO VPS for about 6 months, and never had a problem with them.

Faster how? This doesn't tell us anything.

Linode now uses SSDs, too. And server-grade ones at that.
