They are both pretty great, and there are other companies such as linode and atlantic.net (disclaimer: i work for them) that might be good fit. AWS have a lot of services and features, but depends on what you are looking for. You can certainly run node.js, mongo, and rabbitmq with relative ease and cost on DO or anything. All the services I mentioned are pretty reliable so you don't need to worry about it. You can also use AWS for certain things, and others for your primary hosting. Anyways, good luck! Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions regarding migration since we do it all the time.

Thanks, I may reach out. We talked with some hosting companies about co-locating too, so I am open to all ideas. Our core is we are growing and want to keep the reliability that AWS has given us, but see if there is a cost effective means to do so. Not that AWS has ever been bad to us, but we are bootstrapped and can't spend dollars if we can avoid it for now.

Question, atlantic.net as in the old Florida provider? If so you guys bought one of my businesses like 15 years ago. :)
