I've found this to be very untrue - digital ocean offers very poor performance per $ compared to linode in my experience. Linode don't have a $5/month option but if you pay $10/month or more you will get a lot better performance at Linode

If you treat DO as just another VPS provider and pay on a monthly basis does it offer advantages over the competition?
