DigitalOcean

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 Con

Don't accept Bitcoin yet

Even though it's one of the most voted suggestions on their customer feedback website, DigitalOcean does not accept any crypto-currency payment methods. See More

Capuccino 's Experience

DigitalOcean is the most cost-effective, industry-trusted, developer-centric hosting service you can find. Ranging from Programmatic APIs, to a nifty and clean interface, along with a fast provisioning of Cloud instances, it's no mistake this service is the most picked for being cost-effective. See More

Top Pro

Microsoft Azure

Capuccino 's Experience

Microsoft might have ups and downs with Windows, but they redeem their glory with their IaaS. Ranging from Linux and Windows VM options, to large region coverage and the like, it's no doubt why industries like GE Electronics trust them. See More

Google Cloud Platform

Top Con

Not really production-ready

A lot of bugs in the implementation of UI and REST API. Sometimes you can't just edit the VM instances, sometimes it shows the stale notification of removed instance persistently. See More
