Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean

We use a DigitalOcean droplet to host our own websites and to host the sites we develop for clients.
  • Excellent custom service
  • An intuitive control panel
  • Fast SSD drivies
  • Excellent, competitive pricing
  • The sites could be a bit faster -- Linode seems to be leading them at this time.
  • I have nothing to say on this.... the pricing is reasonable.
I started with Linode, but switched to DigitalOcean. when it had a lower price point and used SSDs. Now the pricing is the same and both use SSDs.
DigitalOcean is useful for a quick "spin up a machine for a test" as well as long-term virtual private server use.
