Overall Satisfaction with DigitalOcean Droplets

A DigitalOcean Droplet is being used at our company to host our WordPress website and we also use it for cloud computing purposes like running python automation scripts 24/7 on a cloud computer that we can easily manage via SSH, DigitalOcean Droplets makes the process of creating Linux servers extremely easy and the marketplace is full of great 1 click solutions for different purposes like OpenVPN, Plesk, Docker, etc...

Pros

  • pay per hour model
  • droplets availability on different regions
  • the ability to instantly destroy a droplet

Cons

  • it would be great if they can add more server locations preferably in the MENA region
  • snapshots to take a backup of our servers
  • the option to scale up and down server resources on demand
  • the ability to create test droplets and only get charged few cents for the few hours they've been up
  • DigitalOcean Droplets has no downtime which allows us to always have our website up and take orders from our customers which is a must for our industry
  • The DigitalOcean Droplets scaling option saved us multiple times from missing out on acquiring new customers when we had unusual spikes of website traffic
  • DigitalOcean Droplets is a reliable and cost-efficient solution that allows us to save a lot of money on buying our own servers and maintaining them
DigitalOcean Droplets has more advanced options and the devs at our team are extremely geeky and they prefer to have full control on the server via SSH rather than cPanel.

Yes

Would you buy DigitalOcean Droplets again?

Yes

DigitalOcean Droplets are the best choice for developers teams that need reliable Linux servers to deploy their projects, the ability to create a droplet for testing purposes then destroy it, and only get charged for the few hours used makes the chances of messing up very slim. DigitalOcean Droplets is a great solution because the servers are scalable and the process of adding more resources like CPU or RAM to an existing droplet takes only a few minutes and once a server is scaled up it can also be scaled down if necessary which is perfect for supporting a temporary peak in traffic for example.
