I have made multiple attempts to use them as a complete website management system with email traffic, but unfortunately, it has not been successful. Additionally, AWS is noticeably slower compared to DigitalOcean, with a 30% lag in performance. With emails being flagged as spam and an unacceptable 89% uptime, which is not suitable for my needs.

I feel DigitalOcean and Linode are the best alternative and is way faster and simpler even in the dashboard.

it was ok like any web server but now it became so bad that companies have started moving away from AWS. 3 blackouts in a single month, downtime of 50%, complex pricing range, Log4j on all systems, etc. it is not worth it.
