And I like to give them kudos when I see Digital Ocean mentioned. I run a business in Puerto Rico, and host our ERP and some other services with DO.

After Hurricane Maria in 2017, I wrote off island suppliers asking for any support they could give. DO write back very quickly crediting us 3 months of hosting based on our prior billing.

And besides, the rep sent a very nicely written note wishing us the best. It was a very human response. Good people to do business with.

Digital Ocean customer here, with tons of AWS experience. Like DO better. Just an anecdote.

Their documentation is good. I’m not a DO user but it’s one of those places you stumble upon sometimes when googling. A bit like how you always end up reading the Arch wiki regardless of which distro you use

Also a DO customer here, both personally and as a company all our infra runs on DO. I really like it except that the management platform is pretty slow and not very searchable which is annoying. Other than that it's great (and I prefer it vastly to AWS).
