"First cloud server i ever tried"

What do you like best? It was my first cloud server that i tried. So i am still learning that time. I like the ability to create and destroy VPS in mere of seconds. It make me able to learn how to configure VPS at best but only pay few hours of usage, not whole month like any conventional VPS.

"Simple and affordable but yet super powerful platform!"

What do you like best? DigitalOcean's cloud platform is suitable for both individuals just working on their side projects and for big companies with huge demands with hundreds of thousands of servers. I also love their managed Kubernetes service, you can simply get a Kubernetes cluster up and running with just a couple of clicks. Also, their new Managed MySQL database service is great, you can spin new read-only replicas with just a click of a button.
