Why? DIgitalocean tends to be easier to use and more reliable. I'm ok with paying a little more given these factors...

I don't have the real numbers in front of me, but some back-of-the-phone math says we'd save something like $640 a month for equivalent RAM, which is our big limiter.

DO is slicker, but it's not 8k/year slicker. I can do better things with that money.

Easier maybe, but my experience of their comparative reliability has been the complete opposite.
