Compare DigitalOcean with other popular tools in the same category.
it's uptime, my service runs about 7 years, and never stop.
it's a little confusing, all services that they provide.
Hosting for a few clients, With full speed, and cheaper prices
I keep forgetting they exist because their services are so reliable. Solid infrastructure.
I've been a user for more than 6 years and the only "issue" i have is that they don't offer a smaller managed postgres instance. That's the only nitpick I have.
Web all development.
Being able to scale up and down my droplets as I require. Spinning up droplets with a couple of clicks is very simple. Administering backups and restoring CLI access after changing CLI - also really simple and helpful
The time I've tried to create a custom image and reuse it - I failed to get exactly what I wanted. That could have been an error on my parts.
I want a simple service where I can adminster the software and technolgies that I want to use. This provides exactly that and gets out of my way.
Fantastic resources and docs. Really reliable infrastructure. Great market place gor on-click installs. DigitalOceas saves me a lot of time.
That all IP addresses are blacklisted, unreliable for running a mail server for web apps.
I needed a quick and easy way to deploy virtual machines and scale them effortlessly.
I like it's simplicity, I've used other providers as linode, aws too but digital ocean is the most straight forward solution one could ask for, one click deployment, no need to worry about anything else, and while it manages all the boring tech stuff, it still gives you 100% complete control over your VPS or droplet in this case!
The 'Backup' service could be better; it sometimes simply doesn't work, or at least in my case didn't work; other than that, the best alternative to all the other . The backup that should have been present wasn't on the list , the day it was needed! I also asked the support but no help.
I deployed multiple of my personal and company servers in their droplets, currently 2 of them are live, It helps me host all my python web servers that require more control than provided in heroku etc.
DigitalOcean has been reliable and easy to setup from a variety of configurations to pick up. It provides a perfect setup to bring ideas to production faster at reasonable price.
Nothing significant to mention till date.
It has so far proved to be the fastest means to go live with dev to prod and the flexibility of configurations on droplets has been a major help.
recuperar os backups droplets, ficou 100% simples e rápido.
A forma de fazer os pagamentos é sem dúvida, perfeita, prática, objetiva não tenho problemas em realizar os pagamentos; sempre recebo com antecendência os e-mails, caso haja um problema no cartão. meu serviço não para e recebo um alerta antes.
Nenhum problema.
A very high quality poetry and server provider, they take care of my every need and when I have a problem they solve it very quickly
Pricing policy can be expensive depending on regions
It solves all my server and database needs and my storage needs very well.
1) Easy to use. 2) Pricing. 3) Possibility to use API to create/destroy droplets.
Only minor thing - recent taxes for Ukrainian customers.
Virtual server, where I can setup my own DB, Apache, etc...
Deployment of new droplets is easy and fast; I have total control of the OS, no firewall to quickly test services and deployments, and a wide variety of locations to chose from.
Outside the normal droplet functionality, the use of apps and images and the market I think it could be more streamlined to make it more approachable to end users.
As part of my job I need to be able to test different software products, set up different networking scenarios, and try different deployments. Digital Ocean is great for this. Just create and destroy droplets on demand.
