Provider
DigitalOcean VPS plans
DigitalOcean is the default developer cloud for many indie builders and startups. Droplets are simple, the control panel is clear, and the docs ecosystem is among the best in VPS hosting. Choose DO when you value time-to-ship and supportability over squeezing every cent of raw compute.
Best for
Developers who want predictable droplet pricing, excellent documentation, and a smooth first-VPS experience with one-click apps and App Platform nearby.
Watch out
Not always the cheapest at scale. Bandwidth overages can add up on high-traffic workloads. Raw $/GB may favor Hetzner or Vultr for heavy transfer.
