I've used AWS at a former job and I use DO for my own site. $5 a month is pretty affordable for a small site, and its simple.

Frankly its probably worth the money instead of wading through all the options amazon has to pull together something small for myself. Amazon has a lot of options and while for large businesses thats great, and they try to keep it simple, it honestly isn't.

Plus DO has really excellent documentation on how to do things like set up X.

Their content marketing is working then!

I haven't used DO compute for a while, but I recently started using Spaces for a personal file host and it works great. S3 w/1TB free outbound per month is fantastic.

In really like the way they use an whole community around DO!

DO is awesome, just what the MVP builder with great dreams needs. 1-click, good reliability and customer service seals the deal.

The founder is a crackhead.
