"DO provides very flexible cloud computing services for nearly every use case"

What do you like best? I enjoy having control of the VPS via SSH as well as the web interface DO provides. Only being charged for the time it's online is another bonus.

"Cheap and easy, but slightly lacking in performance"

What do you like best? I love the easy setup of droplets and the simple application installer. I use ghost to run a blog, and their installer makes it much quicker for me to start my app.

"Good for personal data/document storage and hosting"

What do you like best? 1. Great user guides - DigitalOcean has a good number of user guides contributed by both their staff and the community, which can help any novice user get started with different kind of projects. It starts from the basics like securing you linux box and goes on to initiate you to OwnCloud and helping you with step-by-step guides on how to set it up on a DigitalOcean droplet. I could easily follow the steps on all the guides and really loved them.

"Decent performance for automated testing and deployment"

What do you like best? Official and community documentation on running automated Javascript testing is quite detailed, so it is easy to shift from hosted services to custom servers on DigitalOcean. It is also really cheap for the processing power as specialised testing services charge steeply per hour, project as well as concurrent builds.

"Provides instant VPS servers and has very helpful support team"

What do you like best? DigitalOcean provides servers that you can create and destroy by the press of a button, with various specs and Linux-based OSs. The blank ones start operating in about 90 seconds, but restoring from images take a few minutes. I signed up for them and was blown away by the simplicity they provided to the end-users even while providing such a complex system with many customizable things.
