I transferred my sites to DigitalOcean about four months ago and highly delighted. They are even faster and about a tenth of the monthly fee from previous last web host provider!
Only one MySql hiccup and technical support were quick at responding although I solved the problem by installing a backup. Complication arose when I installed Golang alongside Apache2 and think it was the cause of the MySql conflict.
I am using Linux and it is essential to at least know the basics.
