DigitalOcean
Developer-friendly cloud hosting — simple, affordable, reliable.
DigitalOcean is a cloud hosting provider — it rents virtual servers (called "Droplets") and other infrastructure on which we run web applications. Think of it as renting a server in a data center, but managed through a simple web interface rather than physical hardware.
Where AWS offers 200+ services and requires significant expertise to navigate, DigitalOcean is deliberately focused and approachable. Predictable pricing ($6–$200/month for most projects), clear documentation, and a clean interface make it the preferred choice for most projects that don't need AWS-scale infrastructure.
We provision and manage DigitalOcean servers through Laravel Forge, combining DigitalOcean's straightforward hosting with Forge's automated deployment and configuration.
DigitalOcean charges a flat monthly rate per server — no surprise bills, no complex pricing calculators. You know exactly what infrastructure costs each month.
99.99% uptime SLA, data centers around the world, daily backups, and monitoring built in. Enterprise-grade reliability without enterprise complexity.
Resize a server, add additional Droplets behind a load balancer, or add managed database clusters — all without migrating or re-architecting.
Laravel Forge integrates directly with DigitalOcean: provision a server, configure Laravel, and deploy — all from one place.
