Easy, fast, and will not break the bank.

Set up is a breeze even if I've only started working with Linux when I tried it.

Basic Linux/server knowledge is required to effectively use their service which is common to VPS services.

My overall experience with them is good but I suggest DigitalOcean users to back up their droplets frequently to another service provider. If they lock your account, the customer service is hard to reach and if they wouldn't restore your access, you are risking losing your data.

The user interface is really easy to use, with a few clicks it allows you to create a droplet across the globe. Also, it is easy to manage access controls and overall network/firewall rules. They provide affordable S3 like data storage solution called "Spaces". If you are switching from Amazon S3, the best thing about Spaces is it compatible with official S3 libraries which eliminates the implementation process as you can use the same infrastructure for Spaces too.

They should revise Spaces product page/documentation. I had to reach customer support to verify that spaces is just a subscription service so it comes with unlimited buckets. This information is not provided on their product page. Also, their customer service is really hard to reach, and they are not helpful. The worst thing about their service is their automated bots. They can lock your account without a valid reason, and it really hard to convince them to undo it.

Worst

It was having good UI but that is not enough at all.

After upgrading my managed database it is losing a few days of data and networking not working, so my platform is unreachable and no solution already 2 days.

Cost effective and user friendly software. Best for all.

DigitalOcean has unique and very relatable features which are key ingredients to building a lasting customer experience. It is quite cost effective and simple to use. The customer support team has been very active in assisting us in setting up the tool. Web hosting and VPS hosting are made effortless. DigitalOcean is a great idea.

DigitalOcean is good. Nothing is challenging especially with prior knowledge on similar tools.

In a word -- superb on all fronts -- as an example, we were replicating a certain image type that wouldn't work -- any time we'd load the image on a new box, it would fail. It turned out to be a very specific issue around the length of the image name on a specific Debian release -- the DigitalOcean support team figured it out, and looped back with us, long after we'd simply rebuilt the image.

The most amazingly refreshing platform to use in a long time, especially for back-end work. We'd switched from AWS, which was incredibly cumbersome to administer.

We sometimes have had to migrate between data centers because the machines we wanted in the data center in which we already had nodes didn't have the same node available for scaling.

I build custom software for clients and have some SaaS products hosted on the platform. Their data security, availability and high velocity servers make me confident to do my job while they keep it online. I'm a completely happy costumer! They are providing me a perfect experience for more than 4 years.

The awesome user interface of the product is a killing feature, ages ahead of competition. I love how simple and efficient everything is, from deploying a new droplet to asking for support. They offer an excellent service at very low cost. They helped me starting my business, teaching me with their free tutorials how to build and manage servers.

I would love to see investments on a Brazilian datacenter. This is the only missing feature for me.

Excellent. Start working in minutes, and I am not an IT professsional. Digital Ocean offers very flexible plans and it is very easy to switch alternatives when needed. Invoices are clear and fair. I use Digital Ocean to mount one or more servers for my personal work, involving data analysis and education. It has saved me hours of installing software and allows working virtually from any location and any device.

Very easy to setup, all the options that I need are available, can start working in minutes.

I would like more low-cost alternatives.

The pricing is fantastic and has really forced me to abandon any expensive managed hosting platforms. With DO, I can use the latest web server technology when I want. I have experience nothing but great, prompt customer service.

Along with great guides, DO has provided me and my clients with a growing list of tools to be more productive.

The learning curve was steep when I started using DO several years ago. I imagine those with no experience in this area would struggle but the guides really helped.

I have been a long time customer of Digital Ocean and used their droplets to run Wordpress based websites and applications. The service is always reliable and also their customer support team is super helpful.

DigitalOcean provides an inexpensive and easy-to-manage cloud platform that offers reliable services that is very well-designed. The design language across the platform is clean and modern. It literally takes minutes to spin a server get to work.

The service is heavily developer focused so non-developers (Business users) to use the system without a fair bit of learning curve. This is a not necessarily a disadvantage but calling out so buyers make informed decisions.

Digital Ocean is well-suited for beginners to use.

Digital Ocean provides a lot of guides, making it easy to use for beginners as well.

There is a problem with the bandwidth feature as Digital Ocean does not provide guaranteed bandwidth. This limitation makes it challenging to utilize their services in the streaming industry.

Digital ocean was my first IaaS and it is so easy to start learning how it works, i have deploy 4 backend servers and i feel confortable when i think of creating more of them in digital ocean, so the only thing that is left is funtions (like AWS with lambda funtions)

I love GUI, how easy it´s to deploy a react app with a droplet o a backend with nodejs

I had some issues with my spaces and contacted customer service around 3 time and they didn´t give a solution

I use DigitalOcean for deploying and hosting a few web applications. A couple of them are with collaboration with a designer or another developer. Setting up new instances of different products is easy and deploying is a breeze.

Very easy to use - can get started pretty quickly with little to no training.

Parts of the dashboard UI differ too much, making the products that are different harder to find things for configuration.

We use DigitalOcean for a couple of years now to maintain our websites. It keeps running with no issues, so we are pleased with that outcome.

Very easy to create, backup and replicate VPS servers. Everything is in the right place and the web panel is very user friendly. Pricing for newly created servers is very clear and fair.

Sometimes you need to get to the console, do the research and set up something, but it's VPS so you kind of agreed to that

DigitalOcean basically runs all of our cloud infrastructure at this point! From web servers and databases to our inventory management applications- everything has never been more stable, secure and I 10/10 recommend DigitalOcean!

The ease of use is really what shines here, it just works. Over the past 2 years I have had almost no downtime! All of my cloud infrastructure runs on Digital Ocean now, and I've never even bothered looking elsewhere!

The only downfall, is that I wish there were more flexible pricing options. I wish there was a droplet sized smaller then the $5 option, as well as more a-la-carte options

I have found DigitalOcean to be incredibly useful, extensible, and cheap. The learning curve was very steep, for someone not really used to using the command line. However, once I'd put in the initial work, I now have a very capable setup.

For basic use, the lowest tier (or Droplet, in DigitalOcean speak) is very attractive. Regular automatic backups can be added for a small fee, and Droplets can be increased in size and power very easily to match your needs. It really is a blank slate, so you can install pretty much any software onto a Droplet.

It can be quite intimidating to have to set up everything yourself. If you're coming from a regular hosting service, such as GoDaddy or Heart Internet, the amount of steps involved to just get a basic server up and running, coupled with keeping everything safe from security loopholes and hacking attempts, can be off-putting.

My overall experience. When I first started, I was a beginner in server management. There was a time where I didn't know what I was doing. But after spending time with the documentation and researching further user forums, I felt more confident that I understood how DigitalOcean worked for me. Now I can safely say that this was a good investment into my future business.

I really enjoy the use of Droplets to build my own servers just the way I want. With options to control how large my server is and more options to scale it in the future, I can be assured that DigitalOcean will have what I need.

There is always room for improvement with any application. DigitalOcean makes is hard to find faults but I would say improving the console experience is always at the forefront of my mind. Making shortcuts and scripts to set up servers quickly would be nice for brand new users.

That is cheap and has great community support

Biling i would like to pay anualy not wvery month

It's a great product for fast and reliable web hosting. Digital Ocean is suitable for hosting standards for large websites and applications. I like it because it provides a great site performance score and also provides full controllability.

What I like about Digital Ocean is that:- I only pay for the resources that I use. While several other hosting providers will urge clients to go in for long-term hosting, Digital Ocean enables clients to only pay for what they use. This is pretty transparent if you ask me.- It's easy to use: While this may make sense to some people, Digital Ocean has one of the most simple and ease-to-use workspaces. Features are well allocated and they are not even supercharged. It makes it easy to locate an item without hassles.- It uses solid-state drives which are way faster than the usual storage most companies offer.- iT various droplets which are easy to configure and can also be deployed

The reasons why I stopped using Digital Ocean is that:- After three months of hosting, the system started refusing my prepaid visa card meanwhile I'd been using it in the previous months without stress when I reached out to the support team they took a longer time to respond and didn't solve the problem. They suggested that I should try paying via Paypal and there was an extra $10 that got added to the initial fees that I was to pay. At a point, it made no sense to me.- Secondly, all services are self-managed. Although it somehow gives full controllability what about beginners who have little knowledge of cloud computing or similar products? they won't make it.- Fast support comes at an extra cost. This is not a good model - It makes no sense to reduce subscription fees to later ask me to pay for support. It's not even common in today's business world. Please consider upgrading.

When compared to other goods on the market, DigitalOcean is a cheap product. The user interface is simple, and the step-by-step instructions make it straightforward for beginners to understand. It offers a number of unique features, and users only pay for what they actually use. Amazon is pricey and has a complicated user interface. DigitalOcean is easy to use, controllable, and makes it straightforward to set up servers without incurring additional fees or other hassles.

It's incredibly simple to use the pre-configured VM templates for common software, which frees up your time for other important tasks. You can stop worrying about these things and needing to perform recovery tests on a regular basis thanks to automated VM backups and point-in-time recovery for databases.

I wish there was a more effective method for automatically provisioning individuals from specific nations. I didn't like that in order to prove my identity, I had to provide a photo of my face and my ID. I realise it's a security measure, but I'm sure there are other providers who can get around it better. That almost prevented people from getting started.

DigitalOcean powers my SaaS application and has done so reliably for over 4 years with no significant downtime. I couldn't be more pleased and plan to continue using DigitalOcean for the foreseeable future.

DigitalOcean makes it super easy to manage multiple servers under one umbrella. They've increased the breadth of features over the past several years as well as increased the quality of existing features, showing they're devoted to investing in themselves to provide a superior product.

I cannot think of any cons of DigitalOcean at this time.

Honestly I will use digitalocean till the earth collapse or me collapse. Using digitalocean is like eating cookies... It's great using digitalocean.

The Load Balancer is a live saving. It's a great tool for distributing traffic's across servers. I love the server monitoring. It gives us good insight on what's happening on our server. VPS deployment is as fast as a lightening. Within a twinkling of an eye I can deploy multiple servers without delay.

The feature am expecting digital ocean to add next is using multiple IP on Cpanel. Like controlling two servers directly from 1 cpanel account.

Use DigitalOcean to host my servers which run my own websites & web applications. Never had a problem, 99.999% uptime. Would highly recommend

Fast, reliable, affordable servers with near instant provisioning & fast network connections. Hourly billing. Beautiful web UI/UX for managing services. Free DNS hosting

Slightly more pricey than some competitors like Hetzner/Vultr

Its very good cloud service provider.

Digital Oceans very helpful for our small startup company, Its provide droplets and database droplets based our budget.

Based on our requirements and usage there was no least about DigitalOcean.

Its very helpful for our business based on Budget.

DigitalOcean Best budget and helpful for small and medium business companies.

Based on our usage, There was no negative for Digital Ocean.

I'm an email marketer, and I use DigitalOcean droplets to create virtual private servers to host my SMTP server, which allows me to send emails to my list.

It is one of the simplest ways to set up a VPS, and you can choose from a variety of operating systems such as Ubuntu. There are numerous droplets to choose from, each with a different price. The best part is the free trial period that they provide when you register, which allows you to try everything they offer for free.

What I dislike the most is that it has a bad reputation, so if you decide to use it as your email marketing server, you should be aware that it will be blacklisted the majority of the time. Furthermore, they make no effort to prevent spammers from using their services.
