Hey longpvo,

you can see a very detailed comparison (with videos and tables) as well as explanation about the WPI Fast WordPress Stack on the page below.

Note that Digital Ocean are not providing support for software installed on their servers – if you’re looking for having someone on hand to support you with a setup like this, you should really consider using WP Engine instead. They provide Managed WordPress Hosting which obviously costs a bit more, but they’re the ones you commissioned this setup so if you go with them, you’ll get good performance PLUS support when you need it.
