About 4 months ago I moved a mail server from a 2GB Linode instance (london) to a 4GB DO instance (amsterdam) and overall I've been very happy with them. No major outages, the cost saving is huge and I/O performance is great.
The only negative so far is network reliability. Every once in a while my monitoring stuff fails to establish a connection to the DO box. It's transient though and usually connectivity comes back within 2 to 5 minutes. The box is running a low traffic mail server so it hasn't been a big enough issue for me to worry about yet. Other than that, I'm a happy bunny.
