DigitalOcean Instance Types
Instance types offered by DigitalOcean.
Basic |
||
|---|---|---|
| Premium AMD |
Basic Droplets have the most efficient CPU usage at a lower cost for workloads that underuse dedicated threads. They’re ideal for bursty applications that can handle variable levels of CPU. |
|

General purpose |
||
| General Purpose Droplets |
General Purpose Droplets have a balanced ratio of memory to dedicated CPU, suitable for a wide variety of production workloads. They’re best for general purpose workloads that require dedicated computer power. |
|
|
Cost per vCPU: $31.50 RAM per vCPU: 4GB Hourly billing: yes |
CPU type: Mix Shared CPU: no Storage included: yes |

| Tested plans: General Purpose 2 cores | ||
Memory optimized |
||
|
Memory-optimized Droplets provide 8GB RAM for each vCPU. The additional memory can help you avoid excessively swapping to disk or getting out-of-memory errors, both of which significantly impact your application's performance and stability. |

Compute optimized |
||
| CPU-Optimized Droplets Regular |
CPU-Optimized Droplets provide a 2:1 ratio of memory to CPU. This configuration is optimal for applications that demand fast, consistent performance from dedicated vCPUs, but are not so memory-intensive that they require the additional RAM provided by General Purpose Droplets. |
