This is a cross post from DigitalOcean Updated New Droplet Plans We’re excited to hear that DigitalOcean uodated new droplet plans recently , and now the price-to-performance is a little better than Vultr and Linode. In my memory, this is the first time that DigitalOcean update its plans. Here is the list of new price and resources of DigitalOcean droplets. High CPU Plans, which were released six months ago, now have its new name Optimized Droplets. Optimized Droplets are powered by dedicated hyper-threads from best-in-class Broadwell and Skylake CPUs, but now come with additional memory and local SSD disk for the same price. Here is the updates. Over the past few years, we like to compare Digitalocean , Vultr and Linode between each other, because of DigitalOcean’s VPSs come with less memory, DigitalOcean is not as popular as the other two, but now, they all at the same level.

Vultr just upgraded all plans and announced a $2.5 per month plan, which comes with 1 CPU core, 512MB of memory, 20GB of SSD storage and 500GB of data transfer. Will you agree with me that Vultr is fighting back Linode which upgraded their plans two weeks ago . How to upgrade for existing customers? Please navigate to settings–>change plan and select the right plan, please note that downgrade is not supported. Here is a screenshot of how to upgrade plan. Enjoy Vultr.

Linode upgrades its products every one or two years, now Linode introduced 1G instance, which costs $5 per month, with 1GB of Memory and 1 core CPU. At the same time, Linode also introduced High-Memory instances, start at 16GB of memory and scale up to 200GB.
