alt Hacker NewsI'd use digital ocean over AWS for any SMB or lean startup (so... anyone not attached to an infinite money hose that has to either scale to NEED AWS, or die trying) just because of 1) their UI not being broken glass you have to crawl over and 2) not having eight trillion features that make doing simple things hard and 3) pricing
Same. For small projects, I always recommend Vultr or Digital Ocean. Vultr has some neat network features, like BGP support.
