How does Digital Ocean fare a a hosting service? I have tried godaddy, linode, aws and eatj (the not so known vendor). All of these provider have their own advantages depending on your needs, the problem lies if you would want a versitile hosting environment which most developers want (In short a VPS hosting). Most would claim the best based on benchmark, value or support but what I think fits for a developer like my self would be something like digital ocean which offers a set of acceptable standards interm of price and value. I will not provide any benchmark that would justify digital ocean (there are so many review on that in the net already..), this is more of a recommendation based on personal experience. ^^, Spare a visit at digital ocean and use my id as reference.
