DigitalOcean Review: Still the Developer Favorite?

Simplicity is a feature.

DigitalOcean (DO) isn’t the cheapest. It isn’t the fastest. But it is the easiest.

Why We Love It

1. The UI: You can spin up a server in 55 seconds. AWS takes 55 minutes to learn the console.
2. Documentation: DO’s tutorials are the bible of the internet.
3. Managed Services: Managed Postgres and Redis just work.

The Pricing

• Basic Droplet: $4/mo (512MB RAM).
• Premium CPU: $7/mo (Intel/AMD).

Verdict

If you value your time more than saving $2/month, choose DigitalOcean. It is the “Apple” of cloud hosting.
