DigitalOcean Netherlands Amsterdam Basic Regular vCPU Virtual Machine Hosting Test and Review
We will conduct a performance test on DigitalOcean Netherlands‘ Amsterdam Basic Regular Shared vCPU VPS Server, also known as Droplets. This basic virtual machine offers a combination of memory and compute resources, making it ideal for small-scale projects such as blogs, web apps, and dev/test environments requiring varying CPU performance levels.
The DO-Regular Processor powers this server, which features a two vCore CPU, 4GB of RAM, an 80GB SSD disk, 4TB transfer capacity, and 1x IPv4. Setting up Droplets is simple and quick, taking only a few seconds. They can be used as standalone virtual machines or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.
About DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean is a cloud hosting provider founded in 2012 and is now among the largest web hosting companies in the world. The company has offices in New York, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Bangalore, India. Their data centers are all around the world for a total of 14: New York, Amsterdam, and San Francisco have three each, while Singapore, London, Frankfurt, Toronto, and Bangalore have one each.
DigitalOcean is a technical hosting provider geared towards advanced users, offering many customizable and combinable options. However, there’s no need to know all the jargon to make great use of the provider – they have some beginner-friendly options, but advanced users will still make the best use of everything they offer.
DigitalOcean approaches the issue of pricing in a unique way. Instead of offering pre-made plans with features that scale up with the price, they offer so-called Droplets, where you choose the amount of memory you need, the number of vCPUs, transfer limits, and SSD Disk size. They’re charged by the hour, starting at $0.007/hr, which totals $5 per month but goes up into the thousands depending on specific needs.
