Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean Droplets
As our main product is an education platform, we need to host the
website. The site being a heavyweight application, I can't use typical
hosting. So we buy VPS from DigitalOcean. DigitalOcean Droplets is one of the best in the
market according to our need because our platform is non-profit, so we
can't afford big servers all month long. DigitalOcean Droplets gives us the flexibility
to resize servers when the load increases. Our site is built with PHP
and we have built a deployment cycle in our DigitalOcean Droplets, so the development
process has been so much easier.

Moreover, we have been selected in DigitalOcean Droplets' non-profit program, where they provide us free credit for a year. That is another reason we chose DigitalOcean Droplets.

DigitalOcean Droplets is continuously evolving to be more and more powerful. It has great features and has low cost options, which is really great for developers. Its CDN, Loadbalancer, etc. make it a good place to host a high-traffic application. Moroever, DigitalOcean Droplets has a nonprofit program that helps nonprofit sites to run their infrastructure, which is tremendous and no competitor of DigitalOcean Droplets does that.
