DigitalOcean Reviews & Product Details

The community and the infrastructure are both very friendly. You can find answers to your questions quickly.

Uhm, I had to restart my droplet after four years, and it took some time to notice it was only a button.

Starting an Ubuntu server online very fast is saving DevOps. Quit awesome benefit.

The interface is very simple and intuitive, it has many tools to facilitate the creation of a good structure for the applications that we have developed. It has a large amount of documentation to facilitate the configuration of servers as well as a large community that helps solve more specific problems, technical support based on my experience has been excellent. In all the time we have used DigitalOcean we have never had a server down

I have not found anything that disgusts me, perhaps what I like the least is the cost of disk storage

Through the tools that DigitalOcean has, we have implemented web sites, web platforms, web servers connected with applications for smartphones, bulk mailing applications

Digital Ocean is a no-frills cloud hosting provider for your basic needs. It is cheap and simple. It does not boast of a state of the art infrastructure like AWS or Azure but it beats them on cost alone. For a development team, DO is a very good choice if you're ready to get your hands dirty and set up instances, environment and work from scratch. The up-time and performance are second to none. DO also has servers across the globe cutting down on ping time. Also, their documentation on setting up modules is vast and pretty well written. Even when you're not setting up a DO server, you can rely on their how-to documentation to setup your systems. Thanks to those well-written technical articles.

They have kept the infrastructure simple and so, for integrating or availing any service outside their simple infrastructure, you're left on your own trying to fit the pieces together. Also, DO does not cut down on spam application hosting in their servers. Therefore, many of their shared IP addresses are blacklisted by major mail service providers. This causes e-mails from genuine users to go to spam. DO has to do a better job in blocking spam mailers who use their IP to spam.

I can get an on-demand server for $5 or $10 and have the development server ready in 5-10 minutes. This is cheap, time-saving and very effective when I do not require the vast infrastructure and series of services provided like AWS.

With a very intuitive dashboard, you get the power of cloud computing at a great price. Very easy to use.

I do wish there were more pricing options offered.

Web application creation and file storage. Its so easy to set up and use it saves me tons of time.

Digital Ocean droplets are amazing, they're extremely easy to use, connect and manage. There are scalable in many different ways and overall just amazing to work with and host on.

I genuinely have nothing I dislike about the droplets, they're amazing and I've never had an issue with them.

I use digital ocean to host apps and services for all to use, and it helps out a lot of people. But on the actual vps-side, it's finally an easily usable dashboard, and it's all simple and easy to use.

Digital Ocean is the best cloud platform for me, It provides cheap droplets starting from $5/month with 25 GB storage and 1GB RAM, which is enough to host any website or application. I run WordPress websites on the Digital ocean droplet. It is a fast and secure cloud hosting platform.

I use WordPress Ubuntu droplet with Apache and Phpmyadmin installed on it. Sometimes my Phpmyadmin got crashed during heavy traffic on websites. This problem occurs after the memory limit got exceeded.

I am using Digital Ocean for my WordPress blogs and it is fast as compared to any shared hosting. Digital Ocean provides a one-click WordPress Droplet setup starting from $5/mo which is best for me.

No downtime for servers. Website speed was excellent.

Not for beginners. Require techincal expertise.

Building WordPress websites. Great servers compared to others.

There are several reasons to love using Digital Ocean droplets. First and foremost would be the community. I haven't had a technical issue that wasn't unsolvable within the community's extensive and constructive forum. Perusing the forum usually leaves me inspired to do more with my server, making it highly functional and secure for my WordPress projects. Pricing is based on use, and I am able to keep track of how much is being spent on a daily basis. As far as web servers go for WordPress use, this option is highly cost effective. I love that I don't have to rely on others to manage my servers, and ensure that the proper packages are in place and up to date for WordPress functions/actions. I absolutely love being able to use nginx for my sites, which was not something that was easily obtainable with managed/shared hosting services. In retrospect, there are one-click pre-packaged servers available for hundreds of projects, including WordPress, so there are options for those who don't want to be fully involved in their server set up.

There are some drawbacks to using Digital Ocean droplets; it is all based on the user's comfort level with working on a "blank slate" server. It is up to the user to maintain the server and any packages they've chosen to install. I do not have the time to manage it as an email service, so I've had to reach out to a third party that is dedicated to email security to be able to use my domains for correspondence. It is possible to include email functionality in a droplet, but that requires constant management to combat spam/security threats daily. If you choose to use Digital Ocean, do a check on the IP that is randomly assigned to you during the installation process to ensure virus/malware scanners haven't blocklist it. Since droplets are so easy to come by, they're attractive to bad actors for nefarious purposes. You may need to recreate a droplet a few times to get a clean IP address for your websites.

I've tried all kinds of solutions for optimal WordPress hosting (shared, dedicated, VPS, managed, etc.) and hadn't found a solution that met my standards until Digital Ocean droplets. So, I went with a server where I choose what is/isn't installed and how functional it is for a WordPress site. While I would prefer daily WordPress backups, Digital Oceans provides weekly server backups. This means I can roll back to a secured state if the need ever presents itself (I have been with Digital Ocean for four years now and have not needed to use this capability yet.)

Everything ,right from price point to user experience to customers support

We are solving upfront cost of server and storage by using digital ocean services
