I use Linode as a provider for small Linux VMs. Does Digital Ocean offer this service at prices competitive with (legacy) Linode? The site is a confusing mess of buzzwords and made-up terms, which is nothing like the straightforward presentation that was part of the attraction for Linode (and for Slicehost before them). I find DO immediately offputting.

You may enjoy Hetzner instead, then.

I used to use Linode ten years ago, but eventually switched to Digital Ocean.

I switched to using Hetzner instead of Digital Ocean a couple years ago.
