Hey, full disclosure I’m the CEO and cofounder at DO. We built DigitalOcean specifically for developers at startups, SaaS and small-medium businesses concentrating on simplifying cloud infrastructure and delivering an experience that people love. Today we offer a high performing compute product with Droplet that allows running nearly any Linux workload. We also offer shared networking, Floating IPs allowing DIY load balancing, and team accounts for collaborative groups. As well as one click snapshots, automated backups, a web console, extremely friendly support, and tons of documentation that make DO a perfect fit for startups.

Our differentiators allow devs to get started faster, leveraging our UI and intuitive API to automate their deployments and scale with ease. Some of our larger customers have started with just a few Droplets in a stage/dev environment and have grown to thousands of production Droplets managed via their application.

We believe our platform is ideal for startups coming to market that need flexibility and ease of use when going through rapid feature iterations.. Our philosophy is that developers should be focusing on their applications, not managing their servers. This is baked into everything we do, including our straightforward pricing model, so that there’s no need to guess what your bill will be at the end of the month.

Also our price:performance ratio is outstanding and with a static pricing model it's trivial to calculate your bill and plan ahead for growth. And we provide the same on demand utility per hour pricing that allows maximum flexibility. One click snapshots, automated backups, web console, extremely friendly support, tons of documentation make DO a perfect fit for startups.
