DigitalOcean Reviews & Product Details

Servers at Digital Oceans are reliable, easy to use and well documented

Expanding storage size is not very easy and straightforward

Creating cloud platforms and services

Price to specs/performance can't be beat. Lots of options: VPS, containers, block or object storage, firewall, load balancer, internal networking, etc. Lots of products supporting APIs.

I know my way around Linux, but newcomers might be daunted. Add on a cloud control panel like ServerPilot if you need automatic configurations and security updates.

Top performance for multiple clients and startups with limited budgets.

Flexibility of the platform, very predictable costs, user interface is groundbreaking. Customer service is outstanding when you need it.

You can still only be part of one team at a time per email!

DigitalOcean makes it easy to deploy a single VPS or add multi-cloud support to nearly any application stack. Absolutely love the API support and predictable costs for internal projects and clients alike.

There is so much. Quickly and easily start the VPS test server with virtually unlimited configuration operations being cheap. There are a number of predefined distribution stacks to choose from and pre-installed application and configurations

Some key features are not available in multiple datacenters, while other features can not be used with virtual machines located in different datacenters.

In terms of testing large-scale configuration procedures, such as firewalls on a fast cloud platform to redefine, it is unmatched.

The fact that its so easy to use their control panel

Can be restrictive if you need some very specific configurations

Being able to scale up a system quickly when needed. The benefit is that you can spend what you need to and not waste money on resources you don't need at the time.

We use digital ocean services since 2016 and the results are great, with no downtime until now. The admin interface is simple and easy to use. It's a great option for startups, small and big businesses.

This is not an issue, but the transfer limit for small droplets (servers with 512M) is 1000GB. Maybe it could be a little bit bigger.

We can deploy a website or App server really fast.

It is way less complex and has has a way less steep learning curve than Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud.

Many tutorials and docs are outdated and the quality is very heterogenous.

Having cheap and fast machines for deploying code.

It is very simple to use and customize. I can run applications with very few steps. And start new instances of my apps very simply.

Actually nothing, I really like the service.

It's economical, so it helps me save money. It has a good online support. I can run my applications without restrictions.

Simplicity of usage and tutorials available to setup anything

There's really nothing to straight away dislike. We did experience some notices of piracy being run on our droplet, that may be due to reuse of ip. Other service would also suffer from this.

We have our private email server for our club there.

Quick and painless setup, easy to launch VM for testing.

I hope they add more features in the future.

I use it to test new ideas, and for learning new stuff.

I like how fast Digital Ocean spins up new machines and servers. It's super easy to add plugins and use native Linux tools with it.

The pricing structure isn't the best and they stopped honoring existing credits which was a bit of a mess.

They let our team iterate quickly using many different servers and do load balancing for releases.

Amazing, lightning-fast customer support and wonderful UI make hosting simple

Would like to see some integration into GitHub or another code repository.

Building and developing websites internally for marketing, sales and recruitment of employees.

Fast VM setup, low maintenance, automated backups

there is nothing that i dislike so i'm tying out at least 40 characters

Hosting & backup of web-based applications

The ability to quickly spin up/recreate a VM is amazing – it allowed me to have rapid iteration without going through the hassle of managing the VM myself. In addition, elastic IPs allow for quickly switching between production/development environment testing, which is an amazing feature.

Sometimes, shutting down (or starting) a VM took longer than expected and this led to unnecessary downtime, which would have been avoided otherwise.

I am trying to find a better hosting solution for my website and other products – DO made this simple to start off.

The simplicity and price and good reasons to everyone use digitalocean

I really liked all of the stuffs of DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean solved cloud computing ploblem

You have the power to do just about anything on your own server without having to spend thousands of dollars on buying hardware. The choice of OS and Software Stack are literally built within minutes and you are ready to deploy your application. Also, DO has a lot of community written articles that are helpful to beginners and even experienced people who get stuck at something. The customer support is also one of the best, tickets are answered pretty fast and things get resolved very quickly.

There is nothing to dislike about Digital Ocean. It provides an affordable service at very nominal rates and provides integration with almost every other stack out there. The only downside would be that you don't have as many locations for your droplet as you would like. You only have the option to choose from New York ( their headquarters), Toronto, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London and SIngapore. There are news of a couple of other data centers to be added soon.

Digital Ocean provides a $5 droplet with SSD and enough RAM and hardware space to support a couple of websites. When Bootstrapping applications, one shouldn't have to worry about configuring a whole range of software stack as that takes a hell lot of time to do. With a DO droplet I can set up a stack on the server that is that same as my local development machine which makes it easier for me to show my work to my clients faster and saves me a lot of time. Also, I am at liberty to do anything I want to my droplet without worry about anything going wrong. Even if something goes wrong, I can simply delete the droplet and start all over again.

Cost, service, king of product and good Price

I no dislike any thing, may be for latin america, we meed to translations in Spanish

For my customers, the cost when initial process or testing some performace with any server

That you can get a good VPS server running in seconds and for only $5 a month.

Nothing, i've been using DigitalOcean since 2012 and have no complains.

I was using linode and other providers, and the cost was very high.

The way to deploy new droplets that is very quick and easy and if I get a negative balance I will not stay with my services offline.

They could provide more than one IPv4 by droplet.

I use DO to my private business so I think all amazing.

DigitalOcean has a great API, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Their management interface is a breeze to use, and there are always improvements coming up. They have the best customer support of all the hosts I've ever used. They not only do what should be done, but go one step further.

The inability to use my own ISO images, and needing to shut down the instance for taking a snapshot is not favourable.

Needing scalable compute on demand is a problem that DigitalOcean has solved in a manner with great ease for us. Easy to understand and predictable pricing across regions, a good network, and fast friendly support are all benefits that have made DO our go-to provider.
