Our take
DigitalOcean
Predictable flat pricing with generous included transfer
Excellent documentation and community tutorials
Full platform: managed databases, Kubernetes, App Platform
Per-second billing
Entry Droplets use previous-gen shared CPUs
Pricier than EU budget providers for raw specs
Premium CPU/NVMe variants cost extra
The safe default for developers who want a mature ecosystem, clean UX and predictable bills more than the absolute lowest price per GB of RAM.
