Enjoy cost-effective hosting with flexible deployment and room for payment model improvement

Optimal for running static Angular applications and user friendly setup

Pros

"It's been a good choice for us for some services. We generally have several deployments. For instance, for some static Angular applications, it was a clear choice to run them on Cloudflare, which performs very well in this context. All the assets go on DigitalOcean. "

Cons

"The issue with DigitalOcean is primarily the latency. So, when you have a mixed system with some components staying here, and then we encounter network latency, it's not optimal. Our"

A low-priced solution for VMs and Kubernetes clusters with ease of use

Pros

"The user interface is nice, and it is very easy to use. Anyone can use it. "
