"I have had a seamless experience over the past 4 years."
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

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.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

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.

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

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.

"Reasonable prices, reliable service, useful tools with a straightforward management API"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

I like that DigitalOcean provides analogues for the truly useful services one finds in the BIG cloud providers. VMs, object storage, block storage. Oh yeah, great tutorials too!

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

I suppose it's necessary for every business to respond to the current technology trend, but I'd be sad to see DigitalOcean chasing every new buzzword technology that makes a big splash in the news. *cough* blockchain *cough*

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

Cheap, reliable virtual server in the cloud that does NOT run in AWS, GCP, Azure, or God forbid Oracle Cloud. This provides me a reliable anchor point for an office that uses consumer service for connectivity.

"Very reliable and friendly support"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

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.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

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.

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

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 costs are predictable for everything I use for my startup, and very easy to setup.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

There is no way to directly pay in Indian currency.

It provides easy to use servers with predictable cost unlike AWS.

"Goodbye AWS!"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Amazing service. I host all my digital products here for a fraction of the price of AWS plus they have great customer service.

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

There are absolutely no cons that I can think of.

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

I needed an alternative to AWS. It was getting ridiculously expensive and I couldn't even tell which buckets were taking up space and I received no support. Digital Ocean saved the day.

"Very easy to use digital ocean virtual server product"
What do you like best about DigitalOcean?

Easy to use, support your own iso image to install the operating system

What do you dislike about DigitalOcean?

Except for virtual server products, the app is not familiar with the usage steps, which is cumbersome

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

I deployed the docker program conveniently. There are many options and regions. It is very stable and basically has no faults.
