About
DigitalOcean was founded in 2012 to meet the needs of developers who were looking for simple, affordable cloud computing solutions. Our first product, the Droplet, is an easy-to-use virtual machine that can be spun up in just minutes. Over the past decade, DigitalOcean has evolved to serve both software developers and the small-to-medium-sized businesses that are at the heart of innovation today.
