"Best quality-cost relationship and technical support. Amazing community that makes DO one of a kind."

What do you like best? Setting up VPSs just work, it's very easy to boot a new one and start setting it up or use one of the existing recipes to generate a server with some functioning application stack. I find it very developer friendly and the amazing community is one of the biggest assets Digital Ocean has, with plenty of tutorials.

"Long time power user review of the Digital Ocean platform"

What do you like best? I like the pre-baked VM images. The Docker image is excellent and is ready for production out of the box. The Wordpress image was so simple to work with that anyone can have a blog running in a few minutes. The documentation that they provide for installing 3rd party services is excellent. The support for IPV6 is a nice feature and something that is lacking in other service providers.

"Digital Ocean - Straightforward simplicity, while retaining a measure of power and flexibility"

What do you like best? What I like best about Digital Ocean is that the service is simultaneously straightforward in its simplicity while at the same time not being so simple that options are overly restricted. The interface is easy enough that I can give a quick run-down on setting up a droplet to less "server oriented" colleagues and they can digest the instructions without difficulty and run with it without further input, with the added benefit of having a well written library of support ...

"Rock Solid VPS's with Many Other Services Integrated"

What do you like best? Everything, the ability to create a new "droplet", or VPS, is so easy. Snapshots of droplets, web-based terminal for those who need it. Good referral program and there are so many other companies that integrate perfectly with DigitalOcean. ServerPilot and Docker Cloud are two very good examples.

"Amazing Product"

What do you like best? DigitalOcean is an incredible mix of flexibility and intuitiveness. Often, when cloud providers give many options for creating servers, it translates into very clunky, ugly, and difficult UI's. Not DigitalOcean! The UI is incredible and is still powerful.
