You can look at https://vultr.com I use both vultr and DO and they are very comparable. Vultr customer service has been decent and their pricing is competitive.

I like them as well. Some locations offer even a $5 instance/month. Very responsive and intuitive UI as well.

I will try upcloud next. Heard it’s the fastest.

What is the main reason of moving away from DO? We are using them for the last few years and it’s a great ride.

Hetzner? Online.net/Scaleway?

I love Scaleway's offerings but their lack of diversity in DC locations leaves a lot to be desired.

I would personally never host anything in the UK with their bizarre dragnet laws.

Try appuio.ch that is a young Swiss PaaS.

Looks interesting but they don’t seem to be targeting a non German speaking market?

I was wondering the same thing myself. Digital Ocean had been great for me.
