Having Plently of features like user friendly, easy to handle all cloud realated , easy explore. No need of any special traing to handle this.Implementation easy. Customer support also very good.
So far all good. Expecting auto scaling.
Less price and easy to understand the services. No need of any special traing even if you are beginer.
The best Linux cloud servers. Period. They are inexpensive, zero down-time, with all of the configuability of having your own Linux machine.
I am mildly concerned about some of the activities of others using DigitalOcean services. A more proactive abuse prevention program would help.
24-hour SaaS app on LAMP. They take care of the power and internet. I just manage the machine.
On top of solid service, the admin interface makes management of infrascructure a breeze.
Hmm I'm not sure that anything comes to mind. I've yet to be disappointed by Digital Ocean.
DIgital Ocean allows me to scale up my infrastructure as my business grows. I need a bigger droplet for a running project, or a new droplet for a new project? Done.
Digital Ocean is relatively affordable and considering I was just getting started in my career when I first used it, I could easily afford their services, which are more in value than what paid for. In addition, I enjoy the community part, which has always provided me with solutions whenever I am stranded.
Well, I can't quite identify a downside of the digital ocean as I have always chosen it any day any time over any other available solutions.
Digital Ocean has continually incorporated automation, which is good considering my work's nature. This automation has made it easier to use and, at the same time, made it more fun.
The digitalocean.com is my favourite hosting company after 16 years of using different hosting providers. Their droplets actually perform better over other same sized providers and save me tons of usd over other providers. Their support team respond to inquiries very fast and supportive.
Nothing special. Recently they have implemented a system to block users to create additional resources when there is an account due. This is not good as we are paying end of the month and the digitalocean.com bill on the 1st of each month.
Cost efficient reliable cloud hosting service that has limitless possibilities to to scale. We host over 400 websites and applications with them and some LMS have 50000 students.
The Painel is very easy, I like the grafics and when I need help I have.
Nothing, every things in my host work as well
The better thing for me is the easy painel
Use ssd for storage instead of hard drive
None so far that I can think of. Will let you know
Host websites
Simple and very user friendly website in compared.
I think you should added more server locations.
I used as own vps.
The easy way to setup droplets, the managed databases, spaces are amazing also
I would like to see more projects in the marketplace
Digitalocean is solving the problem of cost cloud providers and learning curve, it's so easy to manage your infraestructure, and is so developer friendly
Easy to use, support your own iso image to install the operating system
Except for virtual server products, the app is not familiar with the usage steps, which is cumbersome
I deployed the docker program conveniently. There are many options and regions. It is very stable and basically has no faults.
The droplets let you control the OS completely. No annoying site builder for those of us that don't want it. DigitalOcean is the best solution for real nerds that want to configure everything themselves.
In all my time using DigitalOcean, I have not encountered anything that I dislike so far. They keep me notified about any maintenance that is scheduled- which also has not affected me.
DigitalOcean offers a very economic product tier that I was not able to find elsewhere. Other websites charge much higher prices because they add so much that I don't need right now.
What we like the most is that everything works as expected and we haven't had any issue in 8 years. Maybe a couple of minor issues, but nothing that the support didn't resolve or helped us resolve in short time.
We don't have any diskile about DigitalOcean. Maybe the only thing that we would like to see are discount on bigger usage, maybe something proportional that would make them competitive with dedicated servers.
We needed a reliable supplier with an easy to use interface, with predictables prices, and when we tried Digital, 8 years ago, we were hooked by the products. It's been a long journey but very pleasant.
Easy to set up, stable work, low-cost. I used it for the node.js projects for me and my children (the studied node.js).
It was not easy to set up access from other SSH clients, like SmarTTY. But probably, it is a lack of experience.
Hosting the node.js projects
Their systems are highly customizable on the web interface. Droplets are at a fair price. attachable volumes. wide variety of supported operating systems.
not able to download droplet states/images and restore new droplets from backups downloaded. not being able to easily downgrade to droplets with lower disc sizes
Affordable remote computing in a cloud environment at affordable prices.
simplicity. the UI is very clean, which makes it easier even for newbies
there's no servers on south america. this is something that led me to use aws
creating a VPN so I can expose my companys local server to the internet
DigitalOcean's cloud service brought security, stability, and perfectly suitable solutions to my business. Now, I can focus on what really matters: coding. When I was using cloud services from another provider, I spent more time configuring and trying to fit the service into my budget than actually coding.
I think the experience of doing everything online is good, but I miss human contact for support or even customer success. Perhaps having the option to buy online human support would be beneficial.
It is resolving issues about security, stability and budget. I spent less time as a DevOps and more as a Software developer and it increased my bussiness performance.
I have been using DigitalOcean for around a decade now for various sized servers, both for my own solutions as well as client solutions. In all this time I almost never had any interactions with their customer service - this in itself warrants for a review! However, for the last two weeks I was attempting something mailserver-related more complicated, and one particular support team member was amazing, and it is what is making me write this review... S*j*n (omitting actual full name for privacy purposes) is a legendary customer service representative and server administration expert. Thank you!
To be fair, not all team members at the support team were great, there were some canned responses on occasion, but for me it's the result that counts. From a tech point of view there have never been any issues.
Save time. Have a functioning server.
They have servers in multiple regions worldwide, including my country India which makes the service faster. And I can also get a server worldwide instantly and on an hourly basis
They provide free credits when you first join their platform, but that credit expires in 3 months. In my case half of the credit was wasted as I was not able to use them
Helps me to get a better machine remotely at a very cheap rate
It's really easy to use and designed for startups as of price modeling and UX. We've used it for several services and websites. So far the security and quality of the machines are in really good service.
I'dsa it may be somehow limited for open source or sahred type services to host on.
It helped us to host our open-source projects and some websites of our projects.
Up-front and transparent pricing, beautiful and intuitive UI (Opposite of AWS console), APIs that make sense, easy to scale, lots of offerings.
Not much. While their object and data storage options are competitive, it would be nice if it were a bit cheaper.
I use it to spin up customer servers and environments and hand them off. I can do it very quickly via the UI, or if I want to get fancy, I can use the API.
