DigitalOcean. Seriously. They have been around a long long time and built a lot of the core infrastructure you rely on every day (e.g. Ceph).

- wouldbecouldbe 4mo agoI;ve had my share of VPS & Managed DB outages at DO, so they are also not faultless.
- jasonlotito 4mo agoNot if, but when. No one is faultless. Chasing after 100% is a fool's errand.
- efdee 4mo agoI've been with DO since checks mailbox 2014. Honestly never experienced an unannounced outage.
- wouldbecouldbe 4mo agoYeah overall they are ok. I think 3 times managed db and one or twice a vps just dead. No issues in a year or so. They were always hardware failures, took about 45-120min. Not the end of the world, but also not fun getting lot of client complaints.
- xp84 4mo agoI have read plenty of snark about them on HN, but I found their product incredibly useful, well-designed, and easy to work with. If I was building a new startup from scratch, I'd definitely be giving them a look. I'm sure there are plenty of the like 1,000 AWS products that DO has no viable competitor for, but for what they do offer, they're great.
- rathboma 4mo agoYes, I use DO with Hatchbox. It is a perfect combo. Been using for more and more projects.
- ethagnawl 4mo agoI've had nothing but good experiences with them and their docs and tutorials are excellent.
- robotnikman 4mo agoI've used DigitalOcean for personal projects for over a decade, no major issues so I definitely recommend!
