We https://commando.io use, love, and are sponsored by DigitalOcean. They've been awesome and amazing. The SliceHost of 2012/2013.

Some features we really want to see are when upgrading a droplet, the ability for the disk to increase in size. Right now, you have to image it, delete it, create a new droplet from the image, and pray that you keep the same IP address. Not a suitable solution for companies relying on uptime and stability.

Second, when creating a droplet, the ability to check a box, "ensure this droplet is provisioned on a different hypervisor then the rest of your droplets." Again, when building a highly available cluster, does absolutely no good if they are all on the same physical machine.

Finally, the ability to attach multiple ip addresses to a single droplet is a must have.

With that said, thanks DO, you guys rock!



Commando.io rocks man! I actually use commando server management on digital ocean :)

The IP thing is definitely annoying especially since you're never guaranteed an IP (say you want to switch VMs) even in the same region. That and hard drive size which has definitely made me pay more than I should (when I don't need that much CPU/RAM but need the disk space). Otherwise great experience with them.
