DigitalOcean offers simple, developer-friendly cloud infrastructure including droplets (VMs), managed databases, object storage, Kubernetes, and networking services. It's popular with startups and developers for its simplicity, transparent pricing, and community‑driven tutorials.

DigitalOcean is fully blocked in mainland China—console, APIs, droplets, and storage services are unreachable without circumvention tools. For developers targeting China, infrastructure must be provisioned through local providers like Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, or Huawei Cloud. DigitalOcean remains useful only for serving international workloads.

The information regarding service availability in China is provided for general reference purposes only. Due to the dynamic nature of network conditions and regulatory environments, the actual accessibility of these services may vary over time and by location. Users are advised to verify the current status independently.
