"Developer's Best Friend"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

As a software developer, Digitalocean provides me with the ideal environment and allows me to focus comfortably on my software project. It gives me the opportunity to publish my work securely with its competitive price and extensive access opportunities.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

The only thing I feel is missing is a graphical management (domain, email, etc.) panel. But despite the many possibilities and features it offers, it's still something I can easily overlook.

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

Digitalocean enables me to bring my projects to life quickly and at the cheapest possible price. This not only saves me time, but also provides financial gain on every project.

"The best shared cloud hosting service on the market!"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

DigitalOcean is very easy to install applications and one of the best cloud services, in terms of quality and speed, on the market.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I have nothing to complain about. The platform manages to meet me completely in all aspects.

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

I create websites in Wordpress via Cyberpanel (which I install very easily when creating the Droplet). After installing Cyberpanel, I configure DNS records to install the websites I manage in wordpress. On these websites I also create e-commerce platforms via Woocommerce.

"Fast deployment of your web app for a reasonable price"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

You can start with minimum requirements and increase your environment settings as the app becomes more popular. Then, you simply increase the allocated resources.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Setting up SSH and remote access to your server might be difficult for beginners. It used to be even more complicated in the past.

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

I deploy web applications either for testing purposes only (which I then move to a production environment, sometimes one owned by the client), or for final point deployment.

"Cloud infrastructure provider for web applications"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

it gives a stand-alone server with whatever your need of configuration, the best thing about this is that it's fixed price so you don't need to worry about billing, it won't exceed the cost and it will always be of fixed cost.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

its lowest-cost server are not very good for the docker deployed application, it just won't work properly, even for the staging environment you have to purchase a bit of cost server, unlike Heroku which gives free of cost server for staging and testing applications.

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

make my application available throughout the globe. as I get stand-alone dedicated servers i won't need to worry about the performance, also I can scale my server with just one click with the known fixed cost.

"DigitalOcean - Affordable AWS"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

The best part of DO is the pricing, which allows smaller startups/individual developers to easily create apps affordably.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

It would be great if you could import/export Snapshots from Droplets, and possibly a more affordable App Platform.

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

I use DigitalOcean to deploy NodeJS chat bots by scale. The best benefit by using DigitalOcean is the price to quality ratio, which is perfect. All the features of AWS/GCP in DigitalOcean.
