DigitalOcean Reviews & Product Details

The large variety of products and affordable pricing.

Sometimes, the tutorials are unclear about certain things or have missing information for beginners.

Hosting rather expensive software on Digital Ocena servers saves a lot of money.

The variety of services offered by DigitalOcean have a high quality and availability that allow it to be integrated into our projects easily and quickly from processing machines and services at a fair price.

Reliablity, good tools and lots of documentation!

Well, digital ocean makes a vey good platform. I don't have any dislikes!

We are running our company servers on digital ocean.

In development, Digital Ocean's droplets are almost completely transparent. Once a droplet is created, almost no thought needs to go into maintenance, outages, or other reliability-based issues. I can log in to the console through SSH, and it's like it's not even there. As a developer, not having to take time out to maintain the development platform speeds the important work along.

Using Digital Ocean's droplet as a development platform has some weaknesses. Without internet access, my development environment is inaccessible. Also, some configuration maintenance is less than transparent, and the documentation is less than complete when dealing with the occasional reliability issue. These are only issues when changes are required, and the DO support team is actually very helpful when that happens.

As a mobile user developing web applications, having a dedicated development platform that can be accessed wherever I might be on several different devices is handy. I would recommend this to anyone that is doing what I do. If I need an alternate environment, like an older version of the stack, I can stand up a customized droplet to create that environment. Having the ability to provision, use, and destroy servers at will is a power tool. Also, having a development platform that perfectly mirrors the production platform also reduces surprises on deployment. The advanced load-balancing and specialized server features that can become part of the production environment, with the flexibility and scalability that it provides, are going to keep us on this platform.

-Digitalocean provide one click hosting. - Cost is very low and they charge after minimum cost pay as you use - easy to setup droplet and connect domain with droplet

- they charge minimum cost if you not use droplet then - if i choose $5/month plan then if i not use droplet they they charge minimum $5

- easy to host any site. - if i use aws it's complexes for beginners to host site in shot time. But when begining level i use digitalocean it's save so much time

Creating droplets from the pre-existing images. Easy to attach volumes and floating IPs. The User Interface is good. There is no hidden costs, we will be paying that are specified upfront. simple and economical pricing.

Creating an instance from the snapshot is dependent on the image size and it takes forever. Same thing while moving a snapshot from one region to another.

creating droplets from the cloud panel. creating firewalls and attaching to the droplet. creating snapshots from the running droplet and launching droplet from the snapshots.

DigitalOcean makes it easy to go to the cloud. They offer a fast, reliable VPS with an intuitive interface and competitive pricing. You can get started for as little as $5 per month, which is less than the cost of most other cloud providers. And you'll have access to resources like SSD storage, 2TB of bandwidth, and more. Their droplet offerings are also worth mentioning. You can host single-page apps on their shared hosting or deploy containers on their virtual private servers (VPS). Plus, they're constantly updating their infrastructure to accommodate businesses' needs.

We do run into occasional bugs, and sometimes you'll get an email about a region-wide temporary hold on server creation. This doesn't last more than a few minutes or affect any servers that are already running. If your mission is critical enough, we can help move it to another region in case this happens again later if needed.

They are cheaper than other providers, and their customer service is top-notch. They offer virtual private servers (VPS) which are not only cost-effective, but also reliable.

The Digital Ocean design is familiar to anyone who has ever built a computer or server. You get to choose the number of CPU cores, the amount of RAM and SSD storage. From there, anyone who has setup an Ubuntu server will know what to do. Even if you don't, Digital Ocean has some of the best tutorials available on the web. They are simple and convey the instructions without relying on the reader to have Linux exerience. Their pricing models are extremely flexible and designed to suite very short-term needs.

I'm not sure if there is anything to dislike about Digital Ocean. Their support is fantastic. Their tutorials are simple, and they have a lot of them. The only thing they might be able to do better is to provide snapshots for different use cases that are ready to load, but that really falls under the user's purview.

I was able to set up an Ubuntu 16.04 server, which was the LTS version available at the time, and set up a PostgreSQL service and an email server in short order. I was able to set up a simple firewall and secure access with Fail2Ban. While we eventually shut down the project, it was because we decided to outsource the hosting and management of the database rather than run it in-house. Digital Ocean served us well.

Ease of deployment, network speed. Having various Teams (access seperations), tags, great UX!

nothing really, working with DigitalOcean is seamless

Hosting in different locations Flexible IPs Easy of scaling

I like the straightforward pricing and simple building blocks. No need for 1000 different SKUs like AWS and GCP when they can be easily constructed from simple infrastructure primitives like DO offers.

Not much; DigitalOcean continues to improve in their managed database and Kubernetes offerings. Continued investment in enterprise networking and support is much appreciated.

Full-stack application development. DigitalOcean has allowed us to iterate rapidly and develop effectively on their platform.
