Question
Does DigitalOCean Host Windows Servers?
Hey,
I made this account to ask a question. Not sure if I’m in the right place for what I need or not, but I might be :)
The company I work for has a website run on windows IIS. The website in question is www.adventurelights.com
We are extremely unsatisfied with the service we are getting with our current host provider. They can’t even install a renewed SSL Certificate, which we need to make sales....critical situation.
I am researching new providers we can switch over too. Digital Ocean looks fantastic, but is it what I’m looking for? Maybe you can tell me, haha
Thanks!!
Evan

Digital Ocean runs vpses (called Droplets) with any OS you like, you should use own ISO to use preferred windows server version, though their most powerful feature is deploying droplets with predefined linux installation, which is really fast.
Yes. As the above user explained, DigitalOcean isn’t an optimum choice for hosting a Windows IIS server as Digital Ocean runs Droplets with any OS you like, but their most powerful feature is deploying droplets with predefined Linux installation.
Is it possible to deploy droplets with predefined Linux installation but users access the services including databases with Window based devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, etc.)?
