      @humptydumpty yeah, I've had a few booboo's in my first experience, but learned that you can ask their support to migrate your server to a less busy node and they're happy to do it.

      I now run 4 of these.

      If price is not an issue, there are other options.

        @marcusquinn The pricing is a bit misleading or so it felt to me. The advertised pricing is for a 3 year term. The server I selected had a $89/yr tag but ended up at $129/yr when I selected a 1 yr payment term. I haven't heard back from them yet. If it's this hard to get help when I'm throwing money at them, imagine what it's like when I need tech support. I'm glad the order got marked as fraud. I dodged a bullet there.

        They try to get you to commit to the longer term (3yr) to get that price.
        So you can't get a 1 year term for that price. It's correct as it is.. they just don't make it easy to see ;-/

        The art of the upsell/longsell.

        They could be more transparent about that, but it's technically correct as posted.

          @robi Hours later and their billing department hasn't replied to my ticket yet. I'll stick with DO for now and will look into switching again when Cloudron 7 is released. Girish added a nice feature to help with VPS migrations.

            @humptydumpty I noticed they take first level support from India, hence the longer response times for US customers.

              @robi I got a reply from billing and they instructed me to place a new order with no proxy or vpn enabled. Total ticket time for placing a new order was 12 hours.

              I wouldn't even know what to say to convince them to switch me to a less congested node or even how to check for server lag/speed. I've been there before with shared hosts before moving to "the cloud" and I would be going in circles with tech support. DO, although pricey, have been rock solid and I never had to contact them for server issues.

              @robi @marcusquinn @jdaviescoates You guys rocked my world because I thought DO was "cheap". I used to pay double my current DO server cost when I was with Cloudways (also a DO server with the same specs) and their CP was limited (this was years back, idk now). Since then, I switched to ServerPilot + DO but I was limited to Wordpress or I had to install apps the old fashioned way which I'm not that good at. Then, I found Cloudron. Life changing experience.

              I'm interested in getting test servers with both Hetzner and Contabo now and seeing how fast they are for US users. I use a CDN for my WP sites so I might not even notice any lag. I prefer to host in the EU rather in the US if performance isn't an issue simply because the EU has better privacy laws. It's still the wild wild west here 🙂

              @girish I'm not sure what the forum policy is about mentioning other companies but please let me know if it's a problem. Thanks!

                @humptydumpty just fyi, while I prefer Hetzner, Netcup.eu are even cheaper! (also based in Germany and 100% renewables)

                  @marcusquinn DO is my goto for quick VMs or if I need to spin up an app ASAP without cloudron. I also use their Spaces service for backups. Decent price if you only need the smaller VMs. Been using them for years without any issues at all.

                        I don't like the fact that even though they charge by the hour you have to pay 6 months up front.
