DigitalOcean Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• Connecting from Mac at home to Mac at work

  Create a droplet, at digitalocean.com for example, running Ubuntu (1GB RAM, 1CPU is enough). It costs about $7 a month, and install RustDesk Server on it. The easy instructions (copy paste basically) on how to install rust desk server on Ubuntu, from the command line, are these: " Please setup your firewall on your server prior to running the script. Make sure you have got access via ssh or otherwise setup... - Source: Reddit / 9 days ago

• Questions on running a recurring script - cloud or PC?

  How could I possibly tell you? We (me, you, everyone else) don't even know what the script does or how demanding it will be. But, in general, you can rent VMs for under $20 all day long (example: digitalocean.com). - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Confused about Dedicated Hosting and/or SMTP Email Server

  An affordable option for setting up an email marketing system could be to get a virtual machine from a provider such as Linode, Digital Ocean, Google Cloud, or AWS, and install Octeth's Community Edition License (which is free). - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Day 0 - Creating Your Own Server - without a credit card

  We normally recommend using Amazon's AWS "Free Tier" (http://aws.amazon.com) or Digital Ocean (https://digitalocean.com) - but both require that you have a credit card. The same is true of the Microsoft Azure, Google's GCP and the vast majority of providers listed at Low End Box (https://lowendbox.com/). - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Day 0 - Creating Your Own Server - with a $5 Digital Ocean plan

  These instructions will walk you through using Digital Ocean (http://digitalocean.com) as your VPS hosting provider. They are rated highly, with a very simple and slick interface - and low cost of $5 (USD) per month for the minimal server that you'll be creating. (Of course, if you have a strong reason to use another provider, then by all means do so, but be sure to choose Ubuntu Server 20.04). - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Is there any hosting service for students?

  Checkout linode.com, digitalocean.com, vultr.com, even aws - they all have a good amount of starter credit as well as a free tier (aws I believe). Additionally, I believe these vendors would provide school event attendees codes to redeem even more $$ credit at Hackatons and such. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• I bought a domain name. How do I deploy a static webpage on it now?

  You need a server with a static IP address (if you can't get a static IP address, e.g. On a home network, there are ways around that). You can use a service like Netlify, but here's how to do it from scratch, with your own server (either in the cloud, like AWS/Azure/DigitalOcean/Google Cloud, or with an actual physical machine running on your home network*). - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Hey guys, where can I deploy my Django project for free? A good Heroku substitute.

  You can get a credit of 100$ from digitalocean.com for 60 days or 200$ as I remember for 30 or 600 from vultr.com. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

  Its probably best not to expose your network to the internet, if you want to publish your app on the internet I'd suggest getting a cheap VPS from somewhere like DigitalOcean. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• What are static sites in relation to cloud services?

  So I don't completely understand what a static site is. I have a website, consisting of on HTML page, however it has buttons that call APIs from other services. It uses javascript to make API calls, change the DOM, and process some data. It does not have a backend, because all backend functions are handled by public APIs outside the service. I would like to know if this qualifies as a Static site (for example on... - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

  If you already have a computer that doesn't support virtualization and you just want to play around with different OSes, check out a cheap VPS provider like https://vultr.com or https://digitalocean.com.

• Any services like this exist?

  Digital Ocean (DO)(https://digitalocean.com) - as low as $6 USD per month. This will be a Virtual Private Server (VPS) (that DO call droplets) that you manage entirely yourself. You’ll need to secure it and install the software needed. Your VPS will have a static public IP address. I’ve used DO before and recommend them. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

  With https://codezero.io, the idea is to use a proper pre-production environment (say in https://civo.com or https://digitalocean.com) and use cert-manager and still get the benefits of local development. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
