### "Digital Ocean Review"

July 7, 2020

5.0

Its been great so far.

Pros

It is an easy cloud platform to use. Its droplets (virtual machines) are easy to spin up and set up. It also has cluster orchestration capabilities.

Cons

There isn't a lot of automation on the platform as a result of putting a lot of freedom in the hands of its users.

### "Great team at Digital Ocean"

October 20, 2020

5.0

We are really pleased with Digital Ocean - its the hosting solution for the pros and their ethical support is second to none.

Pros

Very powerful web hosting, extremely kind and supportive ethos (Digital Ocean were kind enough to support our community project with additional credits). Great range of apps.

Cons

This is a completely different experience to web hosting than standard hosting companies like siteground, bluehost, godaddy. One requires much more knowledge on creating apps and websites, and requires pro support to sometimes get the things done you took for granted (like installing SSL / managing your files / installing apps)

### "Super Easy Deployment And Requires Minimal Devops Knowledge"

February 8, 2021

5.0

OVerall pretty easy and simple. I did end up switching some projects off because I wanted some more Managed hosting.

Pros

I love the ease of deployment and one click installs. I was able to deploy a Magento 2.4 instance with webserver and Varnish in one click. The community is also pretty great

Cons

You are charged for disabled instances, you would think charges would only be for instances that are actually in use.

The clean User Interface of their website make a great experience. Combined with the fact that a simple server can be quickly deployed with the help of droplets makes DigitalOcean an easy choice.

### "The DigitalOcean Review"

January 29, 2023

5.0

My overall experience using Digital Ocean was awesome.

Pros

I have been using Digital Ocean for some time now and I can say that it is very easy to use. Also, it is one of the best VPS providers in the market. It is not that expensive. Also, you can rely on their services.

Cons

There are no cons to using this software but I think that they should include more server locations so that response time can be minimized.

### "Digital Ocean Review"

June 18, 2021

5.0

The infrastructure is really amazing and easy to kickstart your next idea.

Pros

The ease of setting up and deploying applications to digital ocean is what makes me love everything about the infrastructure.

Cons

Having less control of my application as most of the things are already set up for you is kinda problematic but not a big turn-off.

### "Great solution for tech infrastructure"

September 3, 2020

5.0

Pros

I've been using DigitalOcean for years and, despite there being a number of other platforms that offer tech infrastructure in the cloud, DO has remained my favorite. It is easy to use, the pricing schemes are transparent, the UI is a pleasure to work with. What's more, DigitalOcean's articles and guides are superb and have helped me set things up with ease, time and again. Would highly recommend.

Cons

There are a number of features on other tech infrastructure providers that DigitalOcean doesn't offer. That said, DigitalOcean accounts for 99% of the cloud technology that most small to medium SaaS applications require, and some.

Reason for choosing DigitalOcean

I chose DigitalOcean over Google or Amazon because of its simplicity, excellent guides and transparent costs.

### "DigitalOcean as a practical alternative to implement cloud services"

July 8, 2021

5.0

We have had a very good experience using DigitalOcean cloud services. It has allowed us to implement applications in the cloud quickly and easily.

Pros

It has a wide variety of cloud services, and allows you to implement different use cases for the cloud, either for demonstration or production.

Cons

Although their cost is really low, it is necessary to calculate them and it can be a bit complicated

Es un proveedor de servicios en la nube muy bueno.

Pros

Excelente precio por el rendimiento combinado con un sólido soporte cuando lo necesitas. Siempre actualizado y cada vez más con servicios.

### "Affordable cloud computing and storage"

May 1, 2021

5.0

I'm a happy camper, prices are really low for the value and reliability.

Pros

It's really easy to perform almost any task. Wheter you need to deploy an app or a test server, or store media for CDN delivery, you're just a few clicks away.

Cons

There isn't much to fill in here. The things DO does, it does well. For more complex applications, we have either AWS or Oracle.

### "Great resource for any size project"

September 3, 2020

5.0

DO has served me well in a professional, production environment with multiple servers as well at a personal level with a single small server. This is a product that "just works"!

Pros

The main drawing factor to DO from another provider was their feature set. They are continually rolling out new functions with great features at amazing price points.

Cons

In general DO allows me to get done what I need to and I have no complaints

Reason for choosing DigitalOcean

Pricing and ease of management was the main consideration.

### "DigitalOcean: Easy server setup"

June 3, 2021

5.0

Pros

I prefer using DigitalOcean if VPS server has to be used for the project and the project is big. Easy installation and setup. On the side note, I like the documentation provided by DigitalOcean.

Cons

In my point of view, this would not be suitable for the very small projects. But apart from this I do like everything.

### "Beginner Friendly "

September 3, 2020

5.0

I have an application that I know is always available to my users and I trust in Digital Oceans reliability in uptime. I also know, when ready, I can easily scale up to meet increased demand.

Pros

As a new student developer, I was able to follow along Digital Ocean tutorials to set up my project and deploy it.

Cons

It can be a little intimidating at first, but when you find the right tutorial(s), you’ll be in good hands.
