DigitalOcean

Comments: Digital ocean saves the cost of hosting both for my company and for the clients and this keeps me happy especially as I get the best speed performance too. I recommend digital ocean

Pros:

Currently, Digital ocean is my number one recommended VPS provider. It provides reliable and flexible hosting features which can fully be managed by the user himself.Although it does require advanced knowledge in cloud computing, but did its best to maintain everything simple and straightforward.The company offers step-by-step article guides for all its products. This keeps the customer well-oriented.All of the servers are hosted in secure and trusted countries and this ensures an accurate distribution of data, hence providing more speed and enthusiasm for users and site owners.It offers flexible pricing plans which are easily scalable (depending on the user's needs) and what entices me more is the pay-as-you-go pricing model which enables me to pay for only what I use. This is quite different from all these web hosting companies who will trick you to pay for some hosting commitments.I run more than three WordPress websites on a single droplet ( 2Cores CPU, 2 Gb RAM, and Ubuntu 18.04), and after testing three different themes and a number of plugins; the speed performance results are still amazing.The Digital ocean user interface is very neat & organized. This helps to facilitate feature placement recognition. The company also provides a built-in commands terminal which makes it easier to run the server installation process as well as any other reacquired components.The company support staff is very friendly.

Cons:

I have no issues with its quality of service so far, maybe there might be some in the future. But as for now, everything works to my expectations.

My new favourite cloud provider.

Comments: Porting my app to DigitalOcean was an absolute breeze. We went looking for a platform as a service provider that could replace Heroku without losing all the zero-config creature comforts we have come to expect, and DigitalOcean has more than met the mark. We are confident that we will have every need met throughout our scaling journey, and that the pricing will be fair all the way up.

Pros:

DigitalOcean is the simplest and most cost-effective platform-as-a-service provider I have ever used. Their simplicity does not come at additional cost unlike Heroku, and they have all the tooling and infrastructure to manage your every cloud need. Their documentation is spectacular, and their support is second to none.

Cons:

If there are any cons to using DigitalOcean, I haven't encountered them yet. My experience so far has been absolutely flawless and I am a very happy customer.

Nightmare company erased all our data and backups

Pros:

It seemed reliable but isn´t - it´s a horror company.

Cons:

I have used digital ocean for more than 7 years. Now comes the horror. I was on a summer trip for about a month and really took a digital detox time. Within this period, our company credit card was outdated, so the monthly payment couldn´t be processed. When I saw this, I immeadiately used another payment service and took care of the bill. However, DigitalOcean had already erased all our company data and back-ups. A project worth more than 150 thousand EUROS was just erased. According to DigitalOcean the data is gone forever and they told me don´t worry you can just start a new one. To everyone out there, the company is not trustworthy and doesn´t care about you. Watch out and better find an alternative, usually data is stored in backups and not 100% erased within such a short period. Moreover, customer service really bad - unbelievable.

Great boxes, simple pricing!

Comments: Been pretty hands off, I like it. Transparent pricing, never an issue with uptime.

Pros:

Easy to set up a server and modify them. DigitalOcean integrates seamlessly with Forge which was great. Lots of support docs which helped me set up my own linux server from scratch!

Cons:

A tiny bit confusing if you don't know the terms.

Fast, Secure, Inexpensive and Easy to Use

Comments: Very easy to use, predictable billing, stable servers, no unexpected surprises.

Pros:

I originally went with DigitalOcean because it integrated well with SpinupWP. I have found that DigitalOcean is very stable, has a very easy to use interface and is a cost effective solution to moving off of shared hosting like Siteground, iPower, GoDaddy, etc. and having more resources and control. Probably not for everybody, but if you are hosting many projects and want speed and control it is a top choice.

Cons:

I really have not found anything I dislike about DigitalOcean, in fact to this point I have still not had to contact their customer support.
