DigitalOcean. Seriously. They have been around a long long time and built a lot of the core infrastructure you rely on every day (e.g. Ceph).

I;ve had my share of VPS & Managed DB outages at DO, so they are also not faultless.

I've been with DO since checks mailbox 2014. Honestly never experienced an unannounced outage.

		Yeah overall they are ok. I think 3 times managed db and one or twice a vps just dead. No issues in a year or so. They were always hardware failures, took about 45-120min. Not the end of the world, but also not fun getting lot of client complaints.

Not if, but when. No one is faultless. Chasing after 100% is a fool's errand.

I have read plenty of snark about them on HN, but I found their product incredibly useful, well-designed, and easy to work with. If I was building a new startup from scratch, I'd definitely be giving them a look.

I'm sure there are plenty of the like 1,000 AWS products that DO has no viable competitor for, but for what they do offer, they're great.

I've used DigitalOcean for personal projects for over a decade, no major issues so I definitely recommend!

Yes, I use DO with Hatchbox. It is a perfect combo. Been using for more and more projects.
