DigitalOcean Reviews

Summary: I was using DigitalOcean for about 3 years already for my pet-projects. VPS is very reliable, I only reboot it once per several months. Multiple open source tools can be hosted on a single droplet and save maintenance costs.

Positive: - Great cost to value ratio. Even though the droplets are not the cheapest ones, I managed to host several open source tools on a single droplet via Docker and all of them are running smoothly.
- Easy droplets management. I was able to create new subdomains, make backups and monitor the droplet via web-interface.
- Apps marketplace is nice, there are a lot of pre-configures services that can be deployed almost in one click. But be careful, It can easily increase the overall prices!

Negative: - Referral program and bonuses are almost non-existent. You can use only one(!) coupon code per account and the referral bonuses are non-recurring.
- Droplets are not managed. It means that it's user's responsibility to provide security of the VPS. If some software needs to be installed, it should be done manually.

Summary: DigitalOcean is an excellent cloud hosting solution for the more experienced. It provides excellent uptime and high performance at a decent price. It is more suitable for advanced web apps requiring compute power rather than simple websites.

Positive: High performance & security
Easy to use APIs
On demand scalability
One click install CMS solution
Good documentation & tutorials
Free 100$ credit for trying out

Negative: For basic hosting purposes, plans are expensive compared to other hosting websites.
Not for beginners.

Summary: Overall i'd recommend anyone to use them as they're super easy to set up and work well. Also reliable.

Positive: Super reliable and easy to set up especially if using it on Cloudways. We haven't had any issues at all.

Negative: Nothing that I dislike about digital ocean as they're awesome.

Summary: DigitalOcean is distinguished by its straightforwardness, developer-friendly methodology, and consistent pricing. For independent developers, startups, and small to medium-sized companies searching for a simple cloud platform with dependable virtual machines and managed services, this is a great option.

Positive: With its "Droplets" virtual computers, DigitalOcean makes it simple for users to build and manage instances. Droplets offer versatility for a range of workloads since they are available in several sizes and combinations.

Negative: Although substantial, DigitalOcean's service offering is not as broad as that of other major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Certain services might not be sufficient for businesses with complicated infrastructure demands.
