"Simple, fast and reliable."
What do you like best? DigitalOcean managed to grow big and fast by offering a simple and effective solution to the server market. What I like most is the ability to spin up a so-called droplet within a minute, and shut it down at any time you want. You only pay for the reserved time that your droplet is available (this includes also when it is currently not running but configured only). Recently DigitalOcean also allows to set up "floating" IPs that can be allocated from droplet to droplet ...

"Excellent service for internal tools and staging environments"
What do you like best? Excellent pricing, and fantastic for spinning up personal projects or development / staging environments. Though I still lean more towards services like AWS for larger-scale deploys, DigitalOcean fits the bill for internal needs. The recent addition of floating IPs has improved uptime and recovery somewhat.
