Use DigitalOcean to provide web hosting

Posted on August 11, 2013

Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to use DigitalOcean start a web hosting company? I would also like to know if there is anywhere I can get more space cheaply to store the content for the websites?

Thanks in advance, Francis

Yes, it is possible. However we do not offer extra storage and I believe our plans’ storage specifications are not enough for a webhost. <br> <br>The most optimal solution is mounting /home from s3 so that it’s “unlimited” storage.

Hi, thanks for your reply but I don’t know a lot about s3, so do you know of any resources that I can use to learn how to combine s3 with DigitalOcean. <br> <br>Thanks again, <br>Francis
