"DigitalOcean"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

DigitalOcean is the best VPS hosting provider I've ever used. All the performant specs are incredibly amazing and it provides a fascinating hosting experience. The user interface is pretty simple to use and the feature designs and placements are easy to locate. I currently host two (2) websites under a single droplet (shared VPS) and what amazes me the most is that although the VPS is shared, it's still super fast. It was super easy for me to install Ubuntu 18.04 OS and run Cyber Panel on it and with all my DNS records fully managed by Cloudflare, I get the best performance so far. DigitalOcean is also affordable and reliable. It offers greater possibilities to host web apps and websites no matter my budget and expectations. The support staff is very friendly and proactive. They provide help series of follow-up emails for each new client that joins their hub and there are several helpful beginner guides for server configuration and other problem troubleshooting purposes. I enjoy its payment flexibility- this enables me to pay only for the resources used. No long-term commitment--it's the best! I would have given it 20 stars if possible.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I discovered that most server locations are only based in the first-tier countries--What about some of us who are from the third (3rd) worlds? Not all my websites come from the US, CA, UK, or AU. I think there should be servers available in South Africa or any other part of Africa which can enable us to provide a quality browsing experience to our users from Africa. It this could be done, I think DigitalOcean will be better even.

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

DigitalOcean hosting is the number website hosting solution that I'll ever recommend. I feel very comfortable with it and it gratifies my performance requirements. It's with all assurance and confidence that I firmly recommend it.

"The best Cloud Hosting provider in the market"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I have used Digital Ocean for more than a year for hosting my Website and undoubtedly this is the best Cloud Hosting provider in the market with competitive pricing from $4 a month. They also provide a free trial with $200 credits that lasts for 60 days

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

One thing I dislike about DigitalOcean is that their droplet backup service is pretty bad the droplet gets backed up only once a week, also the migration from digital ocean to other hosting provider is not easy at all

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

I use DigitalOcean for hosting my website. DigitalOcean provides droplets which are equivalent to EC2 in amazon, but it is definitely more reliable than AWS. My website never went down with Digital Ocean

"Fast, reliable and perfect for high bandwidth usage"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Came here from AWS and i'll never go back unless the service i need is not available inside digitalocean. They have few services to offer compared to other cloud providers, as late 2022 they lack of AI accelerators ang GPU units but if you need a standard solution with a lot of bandwidth ,CPU and fast storage, stop here!

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

The lack of GPU accelerated units with windows machines

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

I host there my streaming services from 2020 till today, never had problems and never ran out of anything

"Amazing service, lightning performance, awesome up time, ease of setting up. Totally satisfied."
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I got a superb experience with Digital Ocean. Amazing service, lightning performance, awesome uptime, ease of setting things up; even I still don't need to contact customer support. I recommend Digital Ocean to all my developers.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I can not download an image of a droplet in order to have a local backup. I miss this feature.

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

The market is flooded with many kinds of web hosting services. I was looking for a reliable & cost-effective VPS service to host my web applications. Then I saw a Digital Ocean advertisement. I tried and tested their services. It was amazing to have a VPS just for USD 5 / month from Digital Ocean.

"We've been using DigitalOcean for years and will continue to do that"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

We usually need to spawn a few virtual machines for both testing our products and trying new apps, and doing so with DigitalOcean is as simple as pressing one button.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

The only thing we can complain about it's not the usability but the cost of their app platform, specially when you need a database attached (which is likely to be every time)

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

Again, the one thing we really like is that we can launch it, use it for maybe one or two hours and then destroy the droplet with one click

"DigitalOcean has been my go-to for learning and testing ideas for years now."
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

DigitalOcean is excellent for flexible affordability. I have taught myself server management, optimization, deployment workflows, and scripted maintenance because it is easy to get new servers running to trial new concepts. It has been irreplaceable in this way. The skillset I've been able to develop thanks to their resources has helped my career.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

If you mess up, you are on your own, as advertised. However, it is the most significant downside. The support team can usually point me in the right direction, which has helped me through a few tight spots.

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

As someone who collects domains like trading cards and has a new idea every month, DigitalOcean enables me to build and test out these new concepts quickly and affordably. Droplets are my playground, and I have been moving slowly to Apps for ideas that need more stable servers.
