Frequently Asked Questions

Check DigitalOcean's status page to monitor infrastructure, API, and control panel availability.

Service performance can be impacted by network conditions, datacenter maintenance, or system updates.

Check network configuration, verify DNS settings, review firewall rules, or access through alternative networks.

Access DigitalOcean documentation, community forums, or contact technical support through official channels.

DigitalOcean performs scheduled maintenance during off-peak hours with advance notifications to customers.

Droplet unresponsiveness can stem from network issues, operating system problems, or resource limitations. Check the droplet's status, verify network connectivity, or review resource usage.

Slow performance may be caused by network congestion, resource exhaustion, or configuration issues. Review resource usage, check network latency, or optimize your application for better performance.

Account access issues may result from password problems, authentication failures, or temporary service disruptions. Check your password, try resetting it if needed, or contact DigitalOcean support for assistance.

About DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is a cloud infrastructure provider focused on simplifying web infrastructure for software developers. The platform offers cloud computing services including virtual machines (called Droplets), managed Kubernetes clusters, object storage, managed databases, and networking services, all designed with a straightforward user interface and predictable pricing model.

Independent developers and startups use DigitalOcean to host websites, web applications, and development environments, taking advantage of its developer-friendly documentation and simplified deployment process. Small to medium-sized businesses leverage DigitalOcean's managed services to reduce operational overhead for databases, Kubernetes clusters, and load balancers. Digital agencies and freelancers utilize the platform to host client projects and development environments with features like team accounts and project organization tools.

Users may experience various types of issues when using DigitalOcean, including temporary Droplet unavailability during host maintenance, intermittent network connectivity problems between services, or occasional API response delays during high-traffic periods. Resource contention on shared infrastructure might occasionally result in performance variability, particularly for CPU-intensive workloads. DNS propagation delays can affect newly configured domains, while snapshot and backup operations might temporarily impact performance on active systems. Regional issues might affect services in specific data centers, and network throughput limitations could impact high-bandwidth applications during peak usage times.
