Droplet Details

DigitalOcean Droplets are Linux-based virtual machines (VMs) that run on top of virtualized hardware. Each Droplet you create is a new server you can use, either standalone or as part of a larger, cloud-based infrastructure.


We offer CPU and GPU plans for various Linux-based Droplets. All Droplets integrate with other DigitalOcean products and features, like tags, reserved IPs, volumes, cloud firewalls, DigitalOcean Load Balancers, and more.
