DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure platform designed primarily for developers, startups and small-to-medium sized businesses. Founded in 2012, it focuses on making cloud computing simpler, more affordable and accessible.

At the heart of DigitalOcean’s offerings are “droplets” — virtual machines that can be launched in seconds with predefined resource plans and Linux distributions. Beyond droplets, the platform also offers managed Kubernetes clusters, object and block storage, app deployment services and managed databases — providing a full spectrum of infrastructure tools without overwhelming complexity.

What sets DigitalOcean apart is its emphasis on clarity and ease of use. It features a developer-friendly interface, straightforward pricing, strong documentation and a vibrant community of learners and build-makers. Whether you’re working on a personal side-project, launching a web application or scaling a service for growth, DigitalOcean gives you the flexibility to build and grow without the steep learning curve often associated with larger cloud providers.
