Predictable and affordable pricing
Always know what you will pay with monthly caps and flat pricing across all data centers. Keep costs in check even when you scale your apps. We charge only ~10-20% of what other clouds do for bandwidth which makes DigitalOcean ideal for network intensive apps.
Experience a seamless migration
Simplify your move to DigitalOcean with credits and expert support
Infrastructure credits
New customers are provided infrastructure credit to ensure you are not paying for redundant services and that your experience is risk free. The credit will give your team time to move workloads over to DigitalOcean and perform testing before going live.
Expert guidance and training
We will guide you through the migration, ensuring your team is trained on using DigitalOcean through in-depth tutorials or hands-on support from our Solutions Engineering team.
Minimal downtime
We provide free technical support around the clock, so you’ll have the option to get help when you need it.
If you qualify for a supported migration, you will work with our Solutions Engineer team to walk-through the go-live process. Smaller businesses can leverage a partner to handle the migration from start to finish.

Thousands of businesses have successfully migrated to DigitalOcean
Since moving to DigitalOcean, our setup is ultimately more capable than what we had before the migration, downtime has become a rarity, and our hosting costs have decreased by more than 90%. All in all, our team is very happy with our decision to migrate over to DigitalOcean, and we’re eager to continue to scale up our infrastructure as our business grows.
We’re a small company, and we monitor our costs very closely. If we were to use AWS for everything, our costs would be around $55,000 more per month than they are with DigitalOcean. We wouldn't be able to compete in certain products.
With a partner like DigitalOcean, we can save on data transfer costs and become more cost-efficient. The cloud cost optimization that Vidgyor has seen in the past few months is approximately 25%, which is a big amount for most companies and in these tough times, any savings will go a long way.
