Are you the host I need for wp multisite? Not a techie.

@hfuller my situation was quite similar like u when i was about to host my first app & site.

i wasn’t a techie either, shared hosting performance just sucks and didnt had money to get a professional service. but i decided to learn and host on DO. i must say DO had the most wonderful tutorials for managing server and they are really easy to understand. since happily hosting with them for the last 2 years. :) now i can say i was 100% correct and choose the correct path. though it was not easy but it was correct.

so decide yourself, either follow what @jtittle said or start learning. i also found DO support stuff very friendly. back then, they helped me many times on issues which were even out of their scope. but i saw nowdays DO support stuff most likely try to ignore additional supporting and direct customers to the community forum. :P

checkout https://serverpilot.io im sure this will ease a lot of pain from using CLI and give you a little bit of flavor of cpanel hosting while using DigitalOceans VPS

No, DigitalOcean is not the place for you. If you want someone to host and support your WordPress platform, then use one of the many good providers (some of them even use DigitalOcean for their servers). Have a look at WPengine or CloudWays or Kinsta or WPMUdev - if you want something cheap then maybe SiteGround. There’s probably many more, but these are the ones I’ve stumbled upon. Note that I don’t use any of these providers, but have my servers here at DigitalOcean.

You can run WP multisite on pretty much any host that runs Wordpress, so yes, DigitalOcean can host it.
