DigitalOcean Reviews & Product Details

Simplicity. Apps are my favourite service provided by DO, configuration is straightforward and easy, but also allows more advanced setup. Bringing up infranstructure is hassle free. There is no steep learning curve, you can always start simple and then do more advanced setups.

I'd like to say prices but it's really one of the cheapest cloud provider on market. Maybe an official mobile app for management would be nice but it isn't a must have.

It gives me an easy way to deploy my apps and do play with them when prototyping. Limiting the overhead related to infrastructure configuration and automation saves me a lot of time.

The easy setup and using, stable machines, cheap.

About K8S I think need to improve more, now is really good but I think can not compare to other big guys.

Fast & easy setup, stable, scalable vps/storage, cheap.

Reasonable pricing, simple API, coverage.

Monitoring could be improved. It's not easy enough to delegate management.

Providing VPS at the right price and high quality of service

Digital Ocean is the best cloud service provider. They provide various services like Storage, Database, Computing (Droplets). The best thing I like about digital ocean is that they give free credits for 60 days, which helps a person to try their platform. They have one of the best & most up-to-date documentations.

One thing I dislike about DigitalOcean is that they don't have many geographical locations for the droplets; as feedback, I would love to see more locations, even in the India region.

I am using DigitalOcean droplets & Spaces to do most of my business, and that's the thing I love most about the DigitalOcean I can manage my whole business over one place.

I like that it is so easy and straight forward to use to build simple projects on droplets. It is very stable and I did not experience any issues so far while using it.

When I started using DigitalOcean some of the functinality was not clear immedietly what it means so I needed to Google manually to understand. It would be helpful to have info icons on such places that go directly to knowledge base.

I am not aware of problems that DigitalOcean is solving or problems that needs solving from by perspective.

Overall everything. It has a great balance between what it offers, Internet speed is very good, the option to choose the type of processor, locations, firewall configuration, in short. It is a very complete section. Everything is very didactic, there is detailed information about the costs generated by each instance, I love it.

What I don't like is the bandwidth limit that it offers. I understand that for the price, it's what they offer.

So far, I haven't had any problem with the product I've purchased.

Excellent price for the performance combined with solid support for when you need it.

In the over 7 years of using Digital Ocean I haven't encountered any downsides to using their service. Having said that, it is geared towards advanced users so one has to be aware of that.

It provides the hosting for our web application which consists of several front end web servers, some load balancers, a MySQL database and a redis database.

The platform is very user-friendly and contains a lot of helpful documentation and options for different hosting needs. Furthermore, the price is great. The ultimate selling point was all the blogs with detailed tutorials about hosting Nodejs applications, etc.

The only critique I have is that there are no servers in Sweden that you can host droplets on. It would be great if servers in more locations were added so there is more flexibility.

DigitalOcean helps me easily host any application to the cloud; most importantly, it is a very affordable solution! Furthermore, the options provided make it even easier to fit any requirements regarding hosting that a client I work for may have.

They provide all the functionality I need with a fantastically easy-to-use UI through which I can manage my systems.

I used to not like that they didn't offer phone support but they went and fixed that so, now I have no complaints.

Hosted Linux instances. Hosted/Managed database. Hosted DNS.

When a friend needs a simple website (e.g. Wordpress), I always recommend DigitalOcean. The price is amazing. However, what's great is that if they need more than that, DigitalOcean has a lot to offer. Personally, I've used it for years and it has been great.

Overall, not much to dislike, although obviously cheaper prices are always welcome.

Personal websites and projects

We usually need to spawn a few virtual machines for both testing our products and trying new apps, and doing so with DigitalOcean is as simple as pressing one button.

The only thing we can complain about it's not the usability but the cost of their app platform, specially when you need a database attached (which is likely to be every time)

Again, the one thing we really like is that we can launch it, use it for maybe one or two hours and then destroy the droplet with one click

How easy is it to use the DigitalOcean platform

Will be nice to have a more personalized/custom support

In my case, one of the things I like is that I can connect my GitHub repo and deploy.

I got a superb experience with Digital Ocean. Amazing service, lightning performance, awesome uptime, ease of setting things up; even I still don't need to contact customer support. I recommend Digital Ocean to all my developers.

I can not download an image of a droplet in order to have a local backup. I miss this feature.

The market is flooded with many kinds of web hosting services. I was looking for a reliable & cost-effective VPS service to host my web applications. Then I saw a Digital Ocean advertisement. I tried and tested their services. It was amazing to have a VPS just for USD 5 / month from Digital Ocean.

I like how easy is deploy and manage your applications. DigitalOcean offers you the a high level of security availability, so your work gets easy every day

DigitalOcean doesn't cover a lot of place so your application can run slow depending on where you're planning to have impact, for example Latin America

I feel it's more in aspects like architecture, it solves a lot of problems, the deploy it's easy, the management of apps it's easy too. So digital Ocean offer you a great price for what you have to do if you Tun in bare metal, you don't need a physical place, a security guard, you don't have to pay for electricity and a lot of things if you run your app in bare metal. And that without talking about installing and operation system and backups....

DigitalOcean is excellent for flexible affordability. I have taught myself server management, optimization, deployment workflows, and scripted maintenance because it is easy to get new servers running to trial new concepts. It has been irreplaceable in this way. The skillset I've been able to develop thanks to their resources has helped my career.

If you mess up, you are on your own, as advertised. However, it is the most significant downside. The support team can usually point me in the right direction, which has helped me through a few tight spots.

As someone who collects domains like trading cards and has a new idea every month, DigitalOcean enables me to build and test out these new concepts quickly and affordably. Droplets are my playground, and I have been moving slowly to Apps for ideas that need more stable servers.
