I have a VPS with DigitalOcean and for some reason, logging in over SSH takes disturbingly long. I may decide to switch over to Linode with these new prices.
I have experienced this too. I never inquired but it seems worse on NY2.

For the folks using Digital Ocean, have you considered Ramnode? $18 per year for their ultra-tiny plan, "OpenVZ SSD VPS (SVZ v2) - Atlanta - 128MB SVZ". I kinda love a company that constantly posts a 25% discount code on their own homepage. :)
Those are OpenVZ

A small niggle, because I see a lot of people say this: At least in the US, many banks do extend the same protections to both credit and debit cards. My wife and I both had our debit card info stolen in separate hacks over the past few years, and both times our respective banks just asked us a few questions, credited the money back to our accounts and sent a new card that automatically replaced the old card upon acti…
How long did it take for your bank to return the stolen funds? I heard it takes at least a couple of days in most cases. The scary thing about debit cards is that when someone steals money with it, they're stealing your money. So if your account is drained and your rent is due tomorrow, you're in trouble. With credit cards, on the other hand, the thief steals the bank's money. Your money is safe the whole time.

How might the performance of the $5 DO or either of the $10 from Linode/DO compare to what I get from my ~$10 shared hosting? I'm probably going to try a VPS at some point, but was just curious about if I could get rid of the shared and move my sites over too.
From my experience $5 DO is more robust than most shared plans. However the trade off is that you have to setup and maintain everything yourself including security.
