Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • With its "Droplets" virtual computers, DigitalOcean makes it simple for users to build and manage instances. Droplets offer versatility for a range of workloads since they are available in several sizes and combinations.
  • - Great cost to value ratio. Even though the droplets are not the cheapest ones, I managed to host several open source tools on a single droplet via Docker and all of them are running smoothly. - Easy droplets management. I was able to create new subdomains, make backups and monitor the droplet via web-interface. - Apps marketplace is nice, there are a lot of pre-configures services that can be deployed almost in one click. But be careful, It can easily increase the overall prices!
  • High performance & security Easy to use APIs On demand scalability One click install CMS solution Good documentation & tutorials Free 100$ credit for trying out
  • Super reliable and easy to set up especially if using it on Cloudways. We haven't had any issues at all.

Cons

  • Although substantial, DigitalOcean's service offering is not as broad as that of other major cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Certain services might not be sufficient for businesses with complicated infrastructure demands.
  • - Referral program and bonuses are almost non-existent. You can use only one(!) coupon code per account and the referral bonuses are non-recurring. - Droplets are not managed. It means that it's user's responsibility to provide security of the VPS. If some software needs to be installed, it should be done manually.
  • For basic hosting purposes, plans are expensive compared to other hosting websites. Not for beginners.
  • Nothing that I dislike about digital ocean as they're awesome.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I've been using OVHcloud in the US and SoYouStart (also OVH) in Canada for many years. Their network is reliable, their communication is excellent, their portal does what it needs to do, you can often get OOB access to the terminal to your dedicated server, and I usually get what I need from their customer service phone or email support.

Cons

  • Their policy and responsiveness to shutting down bad actors which cause their IPs to get regularly blacklisted sucks. IPv6 has solved this mostly, but for IPv4 it still is not great.
