Excellent service and great value.
John Pernu,

Good plan prices with bad customer service
David Littlefield,
I will say that they have good plan prices. You will need to already know how to manage a server. If you don't have to interact with their customer service team then it's great.
The customer service at Digital Ocean is an unp... More leasant mess for the following reasons: 1. It's inconsistent: You receive replies from different people every time in the same email thread. 2. It's uncoordinated: You receive identical template responses from different customer service representatives in the same email thread. 3. It's insincere: You are given offers to provide technical assistance without them following through. 4. It's inefficient: You literally have to interact with 5 to 10 customer service representatives to answer a simple question. 5. It's self-promoting: You receive are sent paragraphs of sales copy during your customer service request without having first received any customer service. 6. It's questionable: You receive responses that repeatedly avoid or completely ignore answering simple questions about performance capabilities. Less |

When comparing InterServer and Digital Ocean, you will notice that they offer many very similar services. At first, this can make it difficult to determine which company to go with for hosting your website(s). Once you really start to look at how users rated each company in different areas, however, you’ll quickly see that InterServer is the way to go. They have near perfect scores for reliability, pricing, user friendliness, tech support, features, and more.
