"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 ...

"An excellent service at a great price"

What do you like best? The service is incredibly easy to use and is incredibly cheap. I use Digital Ocean for testing various pieces of software safe in the knowledge that I can configure an instance and tear it down when I'm finished with it. It supports the deployment of various OS' in a single click and there is a wealth of tutorials to help you get started if you need pointers for anything.

"Excellent and simple cloud hosting provider"

What do you like best? The fastest spin up/tear down of any cloud provider I've worked with and very dependable. DO is very affordable compared to other providers and has a very no nonsense approach to providing simple and easy to use cloud based infrastructure.
