THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES USE DIGITALOCEAN
Why Docker?
Docker makes it simple for developers to create 'containers' which contain all of the bits an application needs to run independently, including libraries, tools and configuration files. Just run ‘docker start’ instead of spending hours configuring servers.
Build, run, done. Reduce time wasted setting up environments and ship more for your customers with repeatable processes, and peace of mind your infrastructure will grow alongside you.
More than just Docker hosting
Launch a Docker ready SSD cloud server in a minute or less, no configuration required.
