About DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean is a cloud provider with virtual servers, managed databases, storage and AI services. It offers a control panel, an API and a range of managed products for developers and teams.
What it does
DigitalOcean covers compute, containers, managed databases, networking, storage and security.

Who it's for
Developers, startups and small businesses that want a cloud provider with a straightforward console. Teams building AI products can keep compute, storage and inference in one account instead of splitting them across several providers.
Pricing and good to know
DigitalOcean uses pay-as-you-go pricing for most cloud products, and it also runs startup and partner programs. Exact rates depend on the product and the region, so check the pricing page for current figures. Like any cloud provider, costs can grow with the resources you keep running, so it helps to review your usage regularly.
