DigitalOcean is an American virtual server provider based in New York City. As of 2018, they became the third-largest hosting company in the world. DigitalOcean is a more complex hosting provider and is designed for developers. This allows you to have more control over the features and resources DigitalOcean has to offer. However, Cloudways provides a managed cloud hosting platform using DigitalOcean servers as on of their deployments. Cloudways is designed for a better user experience while utilizing the performance and reliability of DigitalOcean vs. AWS servers.
DigitalOcean offers one-click deployments for WordPress websites. They also offer competitive pricing at just $5/month for 1GB CPU 25GB SSD droplets. There is no 24/7 live chat support, which is where Cloudways happens to be more convenient. However, they do have a very extensive support forum with developers providing solutions to virtually any issue you will come across. Also, they offer ticket systems and a very extensive knowledge base of articles which I have personally found useful in deploying Ubuntu based linux servers.
Shameless plug ↓
With competitive pricing starting at $5/month and high-performance, DigitalOcean is the only hosting we use for all of our websites. If you are looking for a less-complex hosting provider or can benefit from 24/7 live chat support, then I would highly recommend Cloudways. This way you get the same performance and reliability in a clean, easy-to-use, managed hosting platform.
DigitalOcean virtual servers provide high-performance SSD Hard Drives and flexible API. Users gain access to high level security with KVM Virtualization, an infrastructure for the Linux kernel that turns it into a hypervisor. Deploying a server takes literally seconds. With one-click droplets you can have a WordPress website up and running in no time. If you are a developer looking for a high-speed, high-performing cloud based server, then DigitalOcean is what I would recommend.
