There are many Black Friday deals floating around, so I wanted to try something else other than DO.
Their backend feels very unorganized and always somehow WIP, but I only use it for renewing every couple weeks, so I've been fine with that.
but it depends on what you're doing. I have definitely had problems with email deliverability. For example, right now I can't deliver to any verizon.net users because verizon claims the IP that my VPS is on is a dynamic IP. They won't budge either. uptime has been great and they're (my node at least) at a data center in nearby Dallas, TX so ping times are nice and low and it's usually no more than 9 hops away.
