These upgrades are impressive but they are a bit too late to the game. DO still has these advantages besides the cheap monthly price:

- DO has excellent and easy to understand API - Step by step guides on setting up and running anything - Minimal and simple

To entice me, it's no longer just a matter of price, DO has extra value added, largely due to their simplicity.



You mean like linode.com/api/ and library.linode.com?


yeah it's not as obvious and simple like DO's REST calls. shame I never discovered this while I Was with linode but it wouldn't have caught my attention any how like how DO did with their simplicity.

now I definitely don't think there's much linode can do further to entice me unless they matched digital ocean's pricing lower than 0.03/hr
