Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is used to host our apps and website. Before using it, we were using share-hosting and were having issues with website speed and capacity at peak times. Our website often crashed for too many people at the same time on it, so we decided to change to dedicated servers and ended up choosing DigitalOcean.
  • Scalable hosting
  • Price is really good compared to competition
  • Customer support is really efficient and fast to reply
  • The console is not really efficient and stable
  • Need to pay for backup droplets
  • Supports high peak time
  • Reduces overall cost
DigitalOcean is really one of the cheapest options out there for dedicated servers. Plus, their pay-per-use pricing helps companies to grow at their own pace without having to pay for a higher performance or service they don't need initially. Their platform is well built and easy to use, and they have one of the most efficient customer support services on the market.
