"Incredibly powereful, yet easy to navigate"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

The simplicity of being able to control my entire client ecosphere from a web-browser is huge.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Honestly, for the price, I really have zero complaints.

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

We build web and mobile applications, and having the ability to spin up a multi-tiered application environment very quickly during prototyping is a big advantage over self-hosted, clunky solutions

"My Digital Ocean Experience"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I love its balance feature because most of the other cloud providers ask about credit cards. I also love its payment option and I always love to pay with Paypal, but I also prefer GPay.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I wish the price could be cheaper and I also wish for a GPU droplet at an affordable price including the Windows OS option. Honestly, I will use a GPU droplet for mining so it should be profitable for miners. Sometimes, I feel login with authentication is too much and I wish there could be a better option for security.

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

Honestly, Linux VM needn't change port because it could be scanned with Nmap and It also needn't use Dovecot for IMAP and POP3 because Postfix also has IMAP and POP3 features.

"Digital Ocean, I won't trade for another"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Stability. Since I migrated my vps over 6 years ago, I haven't had any issues. But the support is also good. And the way I can scale my vps also appeals to me.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

What I don't like is that the price is in Dollars, and as I'm from Brazil, it varies a lot.

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

In Brazil, the cost of accommodation is expensive and offers few resources. When we talk about VPSs, prices go up even more. Therefore, even paying in dollars, it is still advantageous to have Digital Ocean. Today I host my systems with VPSs and I have the freedom to shape as I want.

I would appreciate larger Spaces and additional sizes available, not just the 250G.

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

Hosting and deploying different web apps and APIs for various clients, all with varying needs.

"Love Digital Ocean! Always have."
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

The simplicity. The UI is easy to use, and services easy to understand and configure.

We all want things to be cheaper don't we? I think the only other thing I would change is to make new services available in all zones sooner.

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

Webapp and Microservice hosting. The simplicity of getting services to work together and to be able to automate with Terraform.

"Digital Ocean, a cloud that will keep your pocket happy"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

DigitalOcean is a modern easy to use Cloud provider that will fulfill all your needs without vacuuming all your quarterly budget allowances. It has balanced compute instances, dedicated databases, Kubernetes, and an App platform to get your MVP out as soon as possible.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Nothing, they always ask what we would like to see in the future, what do we miss from other platforms, and then update their offerings :D

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

I'm running a home server away from home, with 100%* uptime, without having to deal with noise, the heat, or the home-level ISP issues you would find doing this at home
