Digital Ocean uptime

Hi there,

“Connectivity issues” can mean a few different things, so it helps to narrow it down a bit.

First, check if there are any ongoing incidents in your region at https://status.digitalocean.com. If something is happening on DigitalOcean’s end it will show up there.

If the status page looks clean, try these quick checks:

# Can you reach the Droplet at all?
ping your-droplet-ip

# Is SSH working?
ssh root@your-droplet-ip

# Check if your services are actually running
systemctl status nginx
systemctl status your-app

Also check your cloud firewall under Networking > Firewalls to make sure the right ports are open for your use case.

If you can share a bit more detail about what the connectivity issue looks like, full outage, intermittent drops, specific ports not responding, it will be easier to point you in the right direction.

Heya, @aaf7f8e5a93e49dabe89459a2d81d8

First check if you can still reach it via the Droplet console in the control panel. If console works but SSH doesn’t, it’s usually firewall (UFW/iptables), SSH daemon issues, or a full disk. If even the console is slow or unresponsive, then it’s more likely CPU/RAM exhaustion or kernel-level trouble.

Also worth checking DO’s status page in case there’s a regional networking incident, but in most cases it’s the Droplet itself getting overloaded or a config issue after updates.

Regards
