<br>
Yes, we actually use Digital Ocean for prototyping more complex
systems we're developing before moving them to a dedicated
server. The main problem I have with Digital Ocean, and based on
reviews it's the same for all those instant VPS systems, is that
we have no access to their infrastructure and so are completely
dependent on their level of support. We've had instances where
we've gone several hours without a response, which is untenable.
With a server, we have very quick access to the infrastructure.
Also, the storage space is expensive compared to SSD's on a
server. <br>

<p>Use Linode instead of AWS. It isn't managed, but they
provide great service: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

<p>It's similar to Digital Ocean in that you can duplicate and
engineer different server configurations. <br>
</p>
<p>If all you want is a command line without the GUI, Linode
gives you that too. <br>

<p>You can buy Linode time by the day. <br>

That is the issue I face as a host. I know a cloud format is
better than the single server format for hosting for several
reasons, principally redundancy, management and distributed
content. But in my experience, we're in a transition time when
all the clouds that are affordable enough and could be used
for shared hosting are owned by the same big companies that
are trying to get our information and that I don't want to
support. <br>
<br>
I do believe private clouds will become more affordable and
usable over time. In the meantime we do our best -- our
servers are hosted in relatively green colo's that have direct
access to the internet backbone, we back up every day and, for
any sites that need it for bandwidth and global distribution,
use a CDN - mainly Cloudflare, or Sucuri if they need a
firewall too. Love Sucuri.<br>
