What differentiates DigitalOcean from other similar products?

- The interface is intuitive with the sections and tabs clearly identifiable. It's difficult to be lost with the interface. Droplets, Networking, Databases, Monitoring, or Settings are some important tabs that we can find on the left-side panel; - A super-fast loading speed: 59 milliseconds! This is because of the cloud computing system and the servers being decentralized worldwide. The SEO of any web app hosted with this product will be boosted; - It's a very flexible product because there is no physical server. We just need to log into the interface and we are good to go. When facing business resettlement, we gain a huge amount of time.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I especially like the super-fast loading speed: 59 milliseconds! The Google standard is 2.5 seconds regarding the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) competition amongst the billions of sites in cyberspace. So, we can confidently say that DigitalOcean is very fast!

What do you dislike most about this product?

The data transfer is limited. It would be better to make it unlimited.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is a good product for web app developers who want to taste the flexibility of a cloud computing system. From anywhere in the world, as soon as we have an internet connexion, we just need to log in and access the interface to monitor and manage our apps. This is very practical!

What differentiates DigitalOcean from other similar products?

Digital Ocean is still a wonderful alternative even if you pay in USD. Today, I have my systems on a VPS and have full control over how they are configured.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best part is that it's a fixed price, so you won't have to worry about billing; it won't go over budget, and it'll always be the same amount. Their administration panel is significantly more user-friendly than those of other cloud providers, making it easier for people with less technical knowledge to operate. We've never had a server go down in the period we've been using DigitalOcean.

What do you dislike most about this product?

For newbies, setting up SSH and remote access to your server may be tricky. There is no premium support on Digitalocean. If you have a problem with digitalocean and submit a support ticket, the customer care team will simply provide you a link to a post on their blog that will help you fix the problem.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a low-cost item with a straightforward payment mechanism. The digital ocean's documentation and support are highly helpful in handling project difficulties. If you're new to the service, though, you should spend a few hours learning about it and reading the help forums. The majority of your questions will be answered there.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
