Reviews of DigitalOcean
Alternatives Considered:
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.
Alternatives Considered:
Very good hoster
Comments:
Very good experience, there are good options but marketplace's images needs to be updated or deleted.
Very good hoster to build website or apps.
Pros:
Easy to create droplets with a lot of options Good panel with simples options, good for beginners
Cons:
Price is a little bit high for some products (Databases for example) Marketplace's apps are not up to date for many (example: Airbyte)
Alternatives Considered:
Reliable and affordable
Comments: No complaints or problems in more than 10 years of use. Switch my personal computing resources there, and eventually (past 8 years) my online company resources. The diverse API offering and services have always filled my needs and allowed me to automate a variety of proprietary systems.
Pros:
Quick setup Decent performance Reasonable cost Good network speeds Rich selection of APIs
Cons:
Some of the VPS options for site hosting can be slightly more expensive, but still very affordable.

There was no free option available, still prices where decent.
Alternatives Considered:

Pros:
I love how simple and user friendly DigitalOcean is. Setting up droplets is quick and the pricing is straight forward. No hidden suprises

Sometimes support can be slow, especially during high traffic times. Would love faster response options
