This looks 3x as expensive as Digital Ocean. What am I missing?

Well, DO is an IaaS, wich is different of a PaaS.

Basically, the level of service is not the same, that's why the prices are different :)

I was looking at the 'solo' package. The cheapest one. Doesn't look to offer more than the server itself.
