It seems to be http (perhaps load balancers) rather than the instances being down - I'm ssh-ed into a droplet and everything is working fine, except remote HTTP connections.
I'm struggling to ssh into droplets, but it seemed like when I was ssh'd in, I didn't have an issue at all.
Having previously left Linode for Digital Ocean due to lower pricing and SSDs, I can safely say Linode both dropped their prices and matched the DO plans with SSDs included. If you want to jump ship, that's the route I'd go for a comparable. I still love DO, but downtime is a no-no when it comes to VPSes.

I just created a droplet today, and was trying for the life of me to figure out what I would have done so early on in setting it up to cause it to become unresponsive. Glad to see it's not just me. It's not really a great sign though, as I was hoping to use this fairly frequently. Is this a common occurrence, or do I just have bad luck? If so, I'll definitely have to find another solution.
I'm not too qualified to comment on the hosting market, but I do want to vouch for DigitalOcean as I've never had uptime issues with them until now. They also have always had timely and helpful support and their pricing is obviously competitive. That being said, near 100% uptime is really desired in this space and I've been scratching my head for the past hour or so wondering why I couldn't connect to my mongo proces…

I've used DO in the past for quick spin-ups, and they're great for that. But for long running applications I'd stay away. Was actually considering DO for a new project, but this kind of tipped the scales the other way.
If you're looking to switch, I think Linode gives you the best bang and reliability for your buck. Have also used Rackspace for a previous startup. A bit more pricey, but also a great service if you're considering switching.

The big issue here is NYC2 droplets went down only 7 days ago. This time its even longer at over an a half. When it happened last week it was unfortunate, but things happen. When it happens twice in a week that is a much bigger problem.
