Digital Ocean is a great company in a brutal, low-margin industry. Based on having run a similar (now mostly defunct) company in the past, I would guess that 80% of their customers are on the $5/mo plan.
And they are competing with AWS Lightsail that have similar prices and offers Windows instances for people who want it.
But even though I am very steeped in the AWS ecosystem and the price of Lightsail is competitive, if I just needed a VPS I would still go with Linode. I can’t imagine AWS’s support being good for anyone who doesn’t have a business support plan.
