"Best VPS and cloud systems for your business"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I like the simplicity and easiness of the platform, well priced and fantastic support. I live the marketplace access that comes with pre-installed technology stack and setups.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I don't find there is any downside of using digital ocean, its all well packaged and built. I just feel they should add a lot more day to day tools in the marketplace bundle that we can just click to install and configure

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

"The greatest web server service"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

When I decided to move all of our websites from a major web host to our own servers, Digital Ocean made the move easy. Their servers continue to stay online and are very cost-effective.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Nothing. Everything is great! I have no issues that I can report against Digital Ocean! There is nothing to dislike! I like it all. No improvements are needed at all, ever.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to move away from a web host that had nothing but problems and horrible customer service to a server company that cares and has excellent customer service!

"Great prices and excellent service"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Excellent price for the performance combined with solid support for when you need it.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

In the over 7 years of using Digital Ocean I haven't encountered any downsides to using their service. Having said that, it is geared towards advanced users so one has to be aware of that.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

It provides the hosting for our web application which consists of several front end web servers, some load balancers, a MySQL database and a redis database.

"Digitalocean is affordable, has comprehensive documentation and is a delight to use!"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

The platform is very user-friendly and contains a lot of helpful documentation and options for different hosting needs. Furthermore, the price is great. The ultimate selling point was all the blogs with detailed tutorials about hosting Nodejs applications, etc.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

The only critique I have is that there are no servers in Sweden that you can host droplets on. It would be great if servers in more locations were added so there is more flexibility.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

DigitalOcean helps me easily host any application to the cloud; most importantly, it is a very affordable solution! Furthermore, the options provided make it even easier to fit any requirements regarding hosting that a client I work for may have.

"Fast and Simple"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Everything is uncomplicated. Google cloud and AWS have so many bells and whistles that it can make your experience difficult. DO's interface is super easy to use.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

So far everything has just worked. Backups are ready. Console is easy to use and web friendly. It is so easy to use that I have never had to contact support.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it mostly to host Wordpress servers. My servers are always up and running so it gives piece of mind. Backups are really easy to setup too so I feel backed up by a reliable company.

What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

When a friend needs a simple website (e.g. Wordpress), I always recommend DigitalOcean. The price is amazing. However, what's great is that if they need more than that, DigitalOcean has a lot to offer. Personally, I've used it for years and it has been great.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Overall, not much to dislike, although obviously cheaper prices are always welcome.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

Personal websites and projects

"Easy to use, quick to deploy, get up and running"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Get things running in a few clicks. From deployment to configuration changes, it is easy to implement what you need to get your app running.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Would like to see import tools, since it's hard to find problems with digital ocean. For example, if I move a customer from dream host to digital ocean, it would be nice to have a wizard to help.

What problems is DigitalOcean solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick deployment and easily run proof of concepts.
