Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean
[It's being used] organization-wide. It allows us to have servers in various regions as needed. It offers excellent flexibility in terms of capacity. The ability to spin up a new server with specified storage and memory requirements is amazing and changed how we manage our infrastructure.
The various regions available to DigitalOcean customers is very nice for targeting specific geographical areas. Launching a service for the Asian market? Spin up a server in Indonesia, instead of New York like you'd do for US users.

- Various geographical regions to run a VPS in.
- Many pre-built images like WordPress, GitLab, and Ghost.
- Local networking making it easy to communicate between your VPSs.
- Backups that are always on and free would be sweet.
- Better integration with Docker Cloud.
- Reduced costs for servers
- Google Cloud and ChunkHost
DigitalOcean isn't nearly as robust as Google Cloud. DigitalOcean provides VPSs, as does Google Cloud. However, Google Cloud offers many other products as well.
ChunkHost is very similar to DigitalOcean, but doesn't have the infrastructure that DigitalOcean has. Geographical regions aren't available with ChunkHost and they don't provide as many monitoring tools. Comparable service, just not as flexible.
