Top Pro

Flexible backup mechanism

Automatic backups can be made for 20% of the droplet price and an unlimited amount of snapshots at $0.02 per GB of storage can be made manually. See More

Top Con

Setup is not as fast as advertised

A person who wants to set this up, set that up, configure this and so forth - and who has minimal time pressures would be okay. But the time it takes to be set up can be crucial for people who want to get up and running as fast as possible. See More

Top Pro

(New) Block Storage Volumes

You can now attach dynamic distributed (assuming SAN) storage to a droplet. Multiple droplets cannot attach to the same volume. The storage is very affordable and there are easy to follow how-to guides. (as of writing, only in certain datacenters) See More

Top Con

Limited Locations, compared to others

I know with many applications, locations are not always super important. However there are several good reason to have certain locations. Only having East Coast and West Coast happens to be an issue for us and a few of our partners. See More

Top Pro

Good API

DigitalOcean has an API for creating and destroying droplets and replicating droplet control panel functionality. The API is RESTful, uses oAuth, supports IPv6 and comes with an extensive documentation. See More

Top Pro

Competetive starter-level pricing

With pricing that starts at $5/month. It's a pretty cheap VPS provider. See More

Top Pro

Pay-as-you-go with multiple payment options

Billing is done per hour. Each month has a 672 hour (28-day) billing cap with server runtime past that point being free of charge. DigitalOcean accepts payments via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. See More

Top Pro

Beginner-friendly

DigitalOcean has a control panel that's intuitive and easy to use, new servers (Droplets) can be spun up in under a minute and they offer stock "apps" (LAMP, RoR, Wordpress) that can be deployed instantly. There's also an extensive documentation for people new to VPS. See More
