> ease of development by not throwing thousand of options in front of your screen.
This! i don't want to spend my life navigating the maze of options and hidden costs of AWS et al, this is important to most projects for two reasons - time and cognitive load... Until things get truly massive scale, it's not worth the brain drain and time is more precious. Navigating the interface of Linode is actually pleasant and takes minimum effort.
If anyone needs a reason not to use AWS for your boss in a nutshell: employee sanity.
Thanks a lot for the long list. I am in the midst of considering switch of hosting provider, so it is nice to know some of the options.
A couple of posters on HN say Vultr has intermittent internal network problems. I've found no wider mention of this - can anyone confirm? I ask as their High Frequency Computer looks (and in testing has been) good, but if the internal network blips then that counts for nothing in a multi-server setup.
We've had network issues as well as forced shutdowns that have corrupted data. Their support was also terrible. We only spent a few weeks with Vultr because of this.
Also: UpCloud https://www.upcloud.com
I have been keeping an eye on them too, along with DO, Linode, Vultr. If I remember correctly UpCloud has disabled HT due to Intel's security issues, so all of their Core are really Single Core and not a Single Thread.
They seems to be working hard [1] with 10! more DC planned in 2020. The entire Hosting market is growing like crazy!

It's not "the same". GCP network quality and performance is much better.
Also www.wowrack.com
Last time, I checked GCP costed me $26 (+ hidden charges) for the same I could get on many other places for $7. Some of them provide instant customer support too and are better because it's not an outsourced customer center in India or other places.

Some prefer managed infrastructure and want to write code. Though, you can do that via GKM but prefer more straightforward approach.

You can easily go lower for less support and most likely a shit interface with some reliability issues.
