What differentiates DigitalOcean from other similar products?
Their product documentation is simply the finest in the market. Despite my lack of Linux expertise, I was able to host myself.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Digital Ocean is fantastic since it allows us to simply build a private virtual machine (droplet) based on the data centres. I appreciate how simple it is to build a WordPress dashboard in a matter of seconds simply providing a few information. It provides around 20 different droplet plans, which I enjoy since I can tailor them to my own needs.
What do you dislike most about this product?
One thing I detest is that the virtual machine market does not provide certain key pre-installed systems such as Bitnami applications, ODOO, multisite WordPress, and a few others.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Everyone should use Digital ocean, in my opinion. If you are new to the IT industry, you should test out the digitalocean service to familiarise yourself with the cloud. If you come via a recommendation, you can also earn a free two-month bonus. They also offer excellent IT support, so you should be able to acquire your solution with the help of some customer service.
Pros
- Respectful
- Client Friendly Policies
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
