Have any of you guys used Digital Ocean?

A dollar sign is normally infront of the amount...like this $5

wow, looks promising! How is the uptime and latency?

How is the uptime and latency?

$ uptime 
 16:53:16 up 229 days, 18:18,  1 user,  load average: 0.16, 0.08, 0.06

That is how long I've been using the VPS.

Latency is generally quite acceptable, with dips now-and-then - maybe once a month. I guess it depends what you want to use it for. For general email/web/deGooglifying server type stuff, I'm very happy with it.

Do they offer any persistent storage, that $5 is ephemeral storage only.

I'm using the dinky little 128MB VPS to run DNS for Netflix / Hulu etc - not sure what else.

I'll most likely take the 6GB one for my existing websites on shared hosting and use something like VestaCP.
