DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. is a cloud infrastructure provider that focuses on simplicity, performance and developer experience. The company offers a range of cloud services designed to help software developers, startups and small- to medium-sized businesses deploy, manage and scale applications.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in New York City, DigitalOcean was created with the goal of making cloud computing more accessible to individual developers and smaller teams. The company was co-founded by Ben Uretsky, Moisey Uretsky, Mitch Wainer and Jeff Carr, who combined their experience in web hosting and software development to build a streamlined cloud platform. In July 2021, DigitalOcean appointed Yancey Spruill as Chief Executive Officer, bringing extensive experience in managing technology and financial operations at various cloud and software companies.
DigitalOcean serves customers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions through a global network of data centers located in key markets such as New York, San Francisco, London, Amsterdam, Singapore and Bangalore. Its platform is particularly popular among developers, independent software vendors and small enterprises that require predictable pricing, easy-to-use interfaces and a strong community of tutorials and documentation. By focusing on customer support and a developer-centric approach, the company aims to differentiate itself from larger hyperscale cloud providers while continuing to expand its product portfolio and geographic reach.
