DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean offers a simple and reliable cloud hosting solution that enables businesses to get their website or application up and running quickly. DigitalOcean is an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provider with an application platform as a service offering. Unlike strictly platform as a service (PaaS) providers such as Google App Engine or Heroku, DigitalOcean provides users with access to the underlying virtual machines supporting their applications. Users can configure the disk space, memory allocation, networking settings, operating system, and more to best meet the needs of their application. DigitalOcean is frequently called “the developer cloud” due to the wide range of compute, storage, database, and networking offerings developers can use to build and run scalable and high-performing applications. DigitalOcean has a reputation both as an early adopter of new technology and as an active contributor to the open-source community.
