Is DigitalOcean managed?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:22 pm

DigitalOcean is a cloud computing platform that provides managed servers. It is a subsidiary of SoftLayer, which is a division of Google. Google offers a free tier for all users. DigitalOcean is a relatively new company, and does not yet have a great reputation.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that DigitalOcean is not a managed service. This means that you are responsible for maintaining your droplet(s), including but not limited to:

-Updates and security patches
-Backups
-Monitoring

However, the company is growing rapidly, and offers an affordable platform for small businesses and startUPS. DigitalOcean is managed, and does not provide customer support. However, the company provides a helpful forum and a wealth of documentation. Overall, DigitalOcean is a good choice for managed cloud computing.
