DigitalOcean

We provide the best tools to control your virtual server in the cloud. Learn how we deliver the most intuitive interface and features so you can start building your web infrastructure today.

Easy-to-use Control Panel
An intuitive user interface to control all of your virtual servers. Create, resize, rebuild and snapshot with single clicks. An experience designed around the user instead of technology.

Servers in 55 Seconds
We value your time. That’s why all of our servers are provisioned in 55 seconds! No more waiting for a slow progress bar to complete - your machine is online and pinging fast.

Resize Server in a Single Click
Being able to resize your server by selecting a new size and clicking go is great. Feel free to start at any size and resize based on load, requests or capacity. Dynamically change as your business requires more resources. From 256MB RAM/1 Core to 16GB RAM/16 Cores.

Web Console Access
If you ever get locked out of your virtual server, you’ll be able to recover it with full console access. HTML5 enabled so you can use it on any device. Bad kernel, wrong iptables rule - no problem.

Full Backups & Snapshots
Automatically set your server to backup every night. Or take a snapshot when you reach a milestone. Snapshots are great as you can build a new server from a snapshot you took, saving you valuable configuration time.

Open Cloud Technology
We’ve created this amazing open-source technology to help you easily and more efficiently manage your infrastructure so you can get back to coding. We provide all of our users with free bandwidth, SSD Hard Drives, dedicated servers, and the ability to select to nearest data center location.

FREE Bandwidth
We don’t charge for bandwidth. You’ll save a ton of money with our network and it's easy to get started. No need to figure out how much bandwidth you’re going to use, whether that traffic is in or out. Set your site up and pay no extra if it takes off. All servers come with 1Gb/sec. network interface.

Dedicated Servers in the Cloud
Ever feel like you’re limited by having to share resources? Our dedicated server in the cloud expands a virtual machine to occupy all the resources. You get the same exact interface and billing structure, just you’re the only user on the physical server. Great for heavy database or IO workloads.

Flexible API
We have created a simple name spaced API that provides complete control over your virtual private servers. All of the functionality that you find in our web control panel will be made available via the API. Today we support all of the major virtual server actions, allowing you to build your own control interface.

DNS Management
Full featured DNS management allows you to easily manage your domains. Update your domain registrar’s records to point to the DigitalOcean name servers (ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com, ns3.digitalocean.com).

SSD Hard Drives
For those seeking the ultimate in performance, SSD based servers provide high IO performance for demanding workloads. Our SSD’s are provisioned the same way as all other virtual servers enabling you to get running fast.

Multiple Data Center Locations
We provide service from New York, and Amsterdam. This allows you to select the best location based on latency, or availability. Stay tuned as we bring on additional sites.
