The storage capacity is different. At the $10 level, DO provides an extra 6GB (pretty marginal), but above that Linode has the advantage on storage. I haven't used Linode in a couple years, but DO seems a little slow on my $10/month toy server.

They're pretty equivalent though. I think DO has the advantage by providing a $5 plan as well for those that are new or what to experiment new stuff on smaller servers first (which is what I do myself).

This is why I went with DO. Linode does appear to be a better value for anything beyond the $10 plan, though -- just from a raw numbers perspective.

It is. Unlike DO, they also have IPv6 support and don't censor.

What does DO censor? oO

Don't censor what, exactly?
