DigitalOcean — provider assessment
Subject: DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean publishes a clear USD Basic Droplet table and a datacenter catalog. This assessment verifies three Basic Droplets, IPv6 and backup add-on pricing. Per-datacenter price and stock confirmation, independent performance and support evidence remain missing.

총점 보류
The evidence coverage is insufficient for a single overall score. The dimension results below are evidence assessments, not a universal quality ranking.
결론
A straightforward option for small global deployments with simple USD pricing. The overall score is withheld because performance, per-datacenter stock and support reliability are not assessed.
평가 항목
Assessed dimensions have a score and rationale. Not-assessed dimensions remain visibly unknown; they are not assigned a neutral score.
| 항목 | 상태 | 점수 | 근거와 증거 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location fit | assessed | 4 / 5 | Ten datacenters are listed, including Singapore, Frankfurt, New York, Amsterdam, London, San Francisco, Toronto, Bangalore and Sydney. This is a region catalog, not per-size stock confirmation. |
| Network performance | not assessed | 총점 보류 | No independent throughput or latency test was run on a DigitalOcean Droplet. |

강점
- Simple USD monthly pricing for Basic Droplets.
- Ten datacenters in the dataset, including Singapore and Frankfurt.
- IPv6 is free and can be enabled at creation.
- Weekly backup pricing is documented at 20% of the Droplet price.
약점과 한계
- Per-size stock and per-datacenter price confirmation are not captured.
- No independent performance test was run.
- Snapshot pricing and availability are unknown.
- Prices exclude taxes, which vary by location and account.
적합한 용도
- Small global websites and staging environments
- Buyers who prefer simple USD pricing
- Singapore, US or EU small deployments
부적합한 용도
- Buyers who need exact per-datacenter stock confirmation
- CPU-heavy or large database workloads
- Teams that require VAT-inclusive quotes
알려진 미확인 사항
- Per-size stock by datacenter
- Snapshot pricing
- Independent network performance
- Support reliability
제한
- Provider-stated evidence only; no Droplet was purchased or benchmarked.
- The dataset covers three Basic Droplets, not the full DigitalOcean catalog.
Correction path: use the source links and verification dates to challenge a claim. Do not treat an old snapshot as current.
대안
Hetzner CPX12
Per-datacenter EUR/USD pricing with more included EU traffic.
