"reviewLikes": "I like the agility, speed, and technology of DigitalOcean. I find the pricing of DigitalOcean's plans to be expensive. DigitalOcean is solving several problems for me. One of the key benefits is the simplification of cloud infrastructure management. It provides a user-friendly platform that makes it easier for me to deploy and manage servers and applications without the need for advanced technical expertise. Additionally, DigitalOcean's scalable infrastructure and fast provisioning times help me quickly adapt to changing resource demands, which is crucial for my projects. The availability of a wide range of pre-configured one-click applications and developer-friendly features also saves me time and effort. Overall, DigitalOcean's solutions have streamlined my workflow and reduced the complexities associated with cloud hosting, making it a more cost-effective and efficient choice for my needs. ",

"reviewLikes": "DigitalOcean is one of the best cloud providers out there. I like the fact that it provides an easy to use platform with a variety of features and services that can be used to create a powerful and reliable cloud infrastructure. It also offers an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to set up and manage cloud servers quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the pricing is very competitive with other providers and the customer support is excellent. The company also offers an extensive library of tutorials and documentation to help users get the most out of the platform. DigitalOcean also provides a wide range of services, including dedicated servers, managed databases, object storage, and more. Furthermore, the company offers a variety of tools and features such as monitoring, logging, backups, and auditing, which make it easier to keep your cloud infrastructure secure and reliable. All in all, DigitalOcean is a great choice for anyone who wants to create and maintain a reliable cloud infrastructure with the help of a powerful and easy to use platform. DigitalOcean is a great cloud hosting service, but there are a few drawbacks. One of the biggest issues with DigitalOcean is its limited customer support. While they do offer 24/7 support for most issues, the response time can be slow, and there are only a few ways to contact them. Web hosting ",

"reviewLikes": "The aspects of DigitalOcean that stand out include its cost-effectiveness, transparent and straightforward billing, and competitive pricing. The user interface is very clear and intuitive, making it incredibly simple to create a cloud instance in seconds. Additionally, the speed performance of DigitalOcean is excellent, with an impressive record for load speed, which is a critical factor for web hosting. The platform also offers robust and reliable cloud servers with the convenience of one-click application installations, and the flexibility to easily scale the infrastructure with growing business needs is a significant advantage. One limitation is the reliance on CloudFlare, which restricts request times to a maximum of 100 seconds, leading to potential timeouts that cannot be altered. Additionally, the initial pricing for certain features, such as load balancers, being too high, though there has been a recent reduction in this cost. Despite these disadvantages, DigitalOcean's strengths in performance, pricing, and user experience seem to outweigh the drawbacks. Easy deployment ",

"reviewTitle": "Just what you'd expect from a cloud provider!",
"reviewLikes": "DigitalOcean is an easy option at an affordable price, compared to most of it's competitors, Digital Ocean offers some really low prices and no surprise costs which make it really easy to trust. Their specifications are fair and it's easy to launch a Droplet or other server type anywhere in their range of regions.\n\nThe company offer a variety of different server types as well as other services which means you have a lot of versatility with the platform to run multiple different parts of your business on one cloud system. There are also free options for products such as Functions, which while limited are still generous and useful for specific use cases. The platform offered by DigitalOcean lacks the depth that certain other Platforms such as AWS contains. DigitalOcean lock port 25 on Droplets making it impossible to use for email without an external SMTP relay. DigitalOcean also do not offer an SMTP relay of their own, making it necessary to look elsewhere for such a tool if you plan to use the server for email hosting - as someone managing a web server this is disappointing, but not a dealbreaker. As a web development business we host our clients' websites to close the room for confusion that this entails for someone unexperienced in the industry. No small business owner out there selling their product needs a second 9 to 5 to manage their website. We were finding that any host we tried to use to host our client's sites was costing a lot of money and we needed to change this, so we opted to setup our own servers using DigitalOcean to make a cost-effective way to manage our clients' websites. DigitalOcean costs us a fraction of the cost to get all of our client's sites online as well as our own, meaning we don't have to charge as much, and we have full control of what's going on! ",

It lets us focus on our products and services and not being cloud architects. In some cases the major cloud providers offer services that abstract away complexity and these services make unskilled corporate types feel more secure in choosing them. Our company isn't one of those but I have worked for some. Hosting services like web, api, email and other internal services. ",

Their droplets actually perform better over other same sized providers and save me tons of usd over other providers. Their support team respond to inquiries very fast and supportive. Nothing special. Recently they have implemented a system to block users to create additional resources when there is an account due. This is not good as we are paying end of the month and the digitalocean.com bill on the 1st of each month. Cost efficient reliable cloud hosting service that has limitless possibilities to to scale. We host over 400 websites and applications with them and some LMS have 50000 students. ",

In addition, I enjoy the community part, which has always provided me with solutions whenever I am stranded. Well, I can't quite identify a downside of the digital ocean as I have always chosen it any day any time over any other available solutions. Digital Ocean has continually incorporated automation, which is good considering my work's nature. This automation has made it easier to use and, at the same time, made it more fun. ",

In all this time I almost never had any interactions with their customer service - this in itself warrants for a review! \n\nHowever, for the last two weeks I was attempting something mailserver-related more complicated, and one particular support team member was amazing, and it is what is making me write this review... \n\nS*j*n (omitting actual full name for privacy purposes) is a legendary customer service representative and server administration expert. Thank you! To be fair, not all team members at the support team were great, there were some canned responses on occasion, but for me it's the result that counts. From a tech point of view there have never been any issues. Save time. Have a functioning server. ",

DigitalOcean is the best solution for real nerds that want to configure everything themselves. In all my time using DigitalOcean, I have not encountered anything that I dislike so far. They keep me notified about any maintenance that is scheduled- which also has not affected me. DigitalOcean offers a very economic product tier that I was not able to find elsewhere. Other websites charge much higher prices because they add so much that I don't need right now. ",

"reviewTitle": "Affordable, Simple (yet powerful) VPS Hosting",
"reviewLikes": "I LOVE their one-click application install via their marketplace. They also have an insanely huge collection of applications that can be deployed in minutes. Unlike other Cloud Platforms, which also have a large marketplace; involving many enterprise applications, DigitalOean focus more on the latest technology software that a normal user would experiment with or use in production. This is common with many cloud providers, but I really wish they would let you scale down a droplet (which is basically a virtual machine deployed). If you notice your website or application takes nowhere near the amount of power you created, instead of doing a complete replica, a scale-down option would be amazing. I wouldn't even mind paying for the feature if reasonable. When I want a very quick environment to test a new application I am working on, I can launch a 'droplet' which is a VM (virtual machine) in minutes without needing to use my own computer as an environment. You can quickly point a domain to its DNS, enable monitor (for free) and pick just the right environment that you need. Once I am done, I can either let it run (which is really affordable) or destroy the droplet. I'm not a fan of using my own computer has a sandbox, and DigitalOcean fixes this issue for me. I don't only use it for development, but I also use it for staining and production. ",

The best thing I like about digital ocean is that they give free credits for 60 days, which helps a person to try their platform. They have one of the best & most up-to-date documentations. One thing I dislike about DigitalOcean is that they don't have many geographical locations for the droplets; as feedback, I would love to see more locations, even in the India region. I am using DigitalOcean droplets & Spaces to do most of my business, and that's the thing I love most about the DigitalOcean I can manage my whole business over one place. ",

"reviewLikes": "I am extremely satisfied with the exceptional support and outstanding performance they offer. The support team is always responsive, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to assist with any issues or inquiries. The performance of their services is top-notch, providing fast and reliable infrastructure that consistently meets my expectations. I highly recommend DigitalOcean for their remarkable support and impressive service performance. While DigitalOcean has many advantages, it's important to acknowledge a couple of limitations. One downside is the limited flexibility in terms of memory and processing combinations. Depending on your specific requirements, you may find it challenging to fine-tune the allocation of resources to match your needs precisely.\n\nAnother drawback is the pricing structure when a droplet (virtual machine) is powered off. DigitalOcean charges for the allocated resources even if the droplet is not actively running. This can be a disadvantage if you frequently need to pause or turn off your droplets to save costs.\n\nDespite these limitations, DigitalOcean still offers a robust cloud platform with excellent support and performance. It's important to consider your specific use case and evaluate whether these disadvantages significantly impact your workflow before making a decision. With DigitalOcean, you can quickly create and configure droplets without the need for complex setup processes. This benefits users by saving time and making it simpler to run their applications or websites in the cloud. In terms of security, DigitalOcean offers various features to protect your droplets and data. They provide firewall options to control incoming and outgoing network traffic, ensuring only authorized connections are allowed. DigitalOcean also offers private networking, which allows you to isolate your droplets from the public internet and enhance the security of your infrastructure. ",

"reviewLikes": "The user interface by far, is the standout item to me. This is because there is never really a question of whether something does the thing you want or is the thing you are looking for.\n\nIt is clean, clear and understandable, from launching a particular service to understanding your billing.\n\nI have been using DigitalOcean for a long time, and I have watched them add so many services to the platform; usually, with the addition of services, there is a degradation in usability due to the complexities introduced with each, but at every step, they have put thought and time into the design.\n\nAs I switched from more traditional server-based setups to App Platform, I can honestly say that that was the easiest and smoothest transfer I have done. There aren't too many downsides that I have run into. In most cases they listen to their community and provide updates regularly. The only gripe I would have (and I am really stretching here) is that sometimes their documentation can be lacking key specifications and I have to rely on the community for answers. I needed a platform to host my upcoming AI-based app from frontend to middleware to backend with databases, block storage and machine learning. I didn't want all of my technology in different servers, on different platforms, and custom-created to run on a particular infrastructure. As such, DigitalOcean provided me with all of the above and made it next to seamless to integrate with each other. ",

I'd like to say prices but it's really one of the cheapest cloud provider on market. Maybe an official mobile app for management would be nice but it isn't a must have. It gives me an easy way to deploy my apps and do play with them when prototyping. Limiting the overhead related to infrastructure configuration and automation saves me a lot of time. ",
