How does DigitalOcean droplet work?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:20 pm

DigitalOcean droplets are the smallest virtual servers you can use. They are perfect for testing and developing new applications or for small projects.

Each droplet comes with a 50 GB disk size and 2 CPU cores. You can create as many droplets as you need and they are free for the first year.

To create a droplet, go to DigitalOcean’s website and sign in. Under “Droplets”, select “Create Droplet.” In the “Name” field, type a name for your droplet. In the “Size” field, type the size of the disk you want to use (you can choose between a 1 GB or a 2 GB disk size).

In the “Region” field, choose a region. In the “Security Group” field, type the name of the security group you want to create the droplet in. In the “Create Droplet” button, click the button.

PRO TIP: The following note is a warning about the question, “How does DigitalOcean droplet work?”

This question is too vague and could be interpreted in many ways. As such, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. If you are asking about the technical details of how a DigitalOcean droplet works, then you may be better off consulting the DigitalOcean documentation or support.

Now, you will be taken to the “Droplet Details” page. On this page, you will see the IP address of your droplet and the public DNS address. The IP address is the address that your droplet will have when you access it through your computer.

The public DNS address is the address that your droplet will use to resolve DNS requests. You can change this address if you want.

To start your droplet, go to your computer and type the IP address of your droplet in the address bar. You will see the “DigitalOcean” logo and the IP address of your droplet.

You can access your droplet using the terminal by typing “ssh droplet_name@IP_ADDRESS”.

To stop your droplet, go to your computer and type “sudo halt droplet_name”.
