Along the spectrum of VPS to 'cloud' with HA and redundancy, digital oceans' offerings are FAR FAR closer to the former than that later.
As I stated before, for those of us that invest in the real mccoy and provide ALL the features associated with cloud, these offerings are just false advertising.█ Brent Presley - brent@innoscale.net

I am not disagreeing with the viewpoint, all I am really saying here is that if the association of the elements you refer were such an integral part of the "Cloud" then yes it would be false advertising however they are not so it's not.
There is a massive market out there that want the cloud as offered by DO, there is a much smaller market that want your cloud. Perhaps because they do not understand the difference but then perhaps also because it's all they need and for them that's all the cloud they need.
Whilst yes DO is just a VPS provider they are far from the majority on here and that is what sets them apart.

DigitalOcean offer a nice and simple service very cheaply but they're lacking when it comees to reliability. In my experience, it's luck of the draw; sometimes you end up on a hypervisor that's having it's CPU maxed constantly, sometimes you're lucky and end up on a fairly idle one. They're good for testing and but I wouldn't use them when uptime and reliability is a primary concern.

By common definition to lay people, plain old vanilla shared hosting is cloud. Heck, ANY internet based service is considered cloud these days.
When people ask about digital ocean (or any other provider) and don't even mention the word cloud in their question, why you guys insist on jumping all over them with "THEYRE NOT REALLY A CLOUD PROVIDER JUST A VPS"???
What is so freaking wrong with a good ol' VPS that warrants this kind of hostility? Most of the hosting world out there isn't HA. We have redundant power, redundant network, and redundant disks, and so does any reputable VPS provider. I -hate- the term cloud, but let's be honest; any provider that ISN'T using the term is really only hurting themselves.
Unless someone specifically asks for or needs HA, can we stop the bashing and just get past the term cloud?

If they are not already doing multiple v4 per vps I doubt they'll start, at least, not for a reasonable price. ARIN is going to run out of Ips soon and after that, companies like DO who don't have more IPs than they need will have to start buying them, which will get expensive fast.

@bwbb is 100% correct.
Moreover a real cloud needs to have a centralized SAN. And it is difficult to achieve the performance of local SSD RAID10 drives on SAN leave alone matching a price tag of $5/month.
But the low end of Cloud hosting is more interested in running benchmarks (bragging about dd and UnixBench scores) so a "real" cloud won't suit them.WordPress plugins | Blog | @jesin_a

The uptime is pretty impressive and also the speed of their servers is good. I am not sure if we can call DO a cloud hosting provider, it is more like a VPS that is very cheap.
1GB server is good for a few small sites and testing grounds, their support is good and also the tutorials on their website are helpful

I have use digitalocean from last year
1. I used digital ocean for production server, there is not interference because my site is actually up.
2. Network speed i think is relative. but the speed is average from other service like aws amazon.
3. Support is very fast. within minutes not hours I guess
Regards.
