We offer a wide range of shared and dedicated vCPU Droplets. Check out our recommendations for choosing the right Droplet for your workload.
Try DigitalOcean’s App Platform to deploy and scale your apps without managing any infrastructure.
Collect metrics on visibility, monitor Droplet performance, and get alerts when problems arise in your infra—at no additional cost.
Easily help secure your infrastructure with free Cloud Firewalls and define what services are visible on your Droplets. Perfect for staging and production deployments.
Securely and efficiently collaborate on projects with unlimited users, get two-factor authentication, and have all of your projects on a single bill.
Backups are disk images of your Droplets created automatically once per week, priced at 20% of the cost of the Droplet.
Snapshots are on-demand disk images of your Droplets that you can keep indefinitely and use them to create new Droplets.
Attach secure and scalable SSD-based Block Storage to your Droplet when you need more storage space and not the additional processing power that a larger, more expensive Droplet might provide.
Store and deliver vast amounts of content with S3-compatible Spaces Object Storage with a built-in CDN to minimize page load times, improve performance, and reduce bandwidth and infrastructure costs.
Distribute incoming traffic across a group of Droplets and increase your application’s availability with Load Balancers—a highly available, fully managed service.
Avoid single points of failure by assigning publicly-accessible static IP addresses to Droplets that allow you to redirect network traffic between any of your Droplets within the same datacenter.
DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger,
Choosing the right Droplet plan depends on your workload. Please refer to this article that explains the differences between shared and dedicated CPUs, and goes into detail on each Droplet plan.
Yes. Resizing a Droplet, also known as vertical scaling, increases the amount of resources a Droplet has. There are two resizing options for Droplets:
Here are some considerations you should take into account before you resize the Droplets.
DigitalOcean provides a 99.99% uptime SLA for both Droplets and Volumes Block Storage.
