Alternatives to DigitalOcean Droplets in Canada
The Basic is the name of a family of "droplets", or VPSs, offered by DigitalOcean that are available in the TOR1 data center of Toronto, Canada and in other global locations. In this article I analyze a general-purpose droplet from DigitalOcean, the Premium Intel model, that belongs to the Basic family and I compare it to alternative VPSs in Canada with similar specifications. It is configured as follows:
DigitalOcean "Premium Intel" Droplet
- CPU vCores: 1 Intel vCores
- RAM: 1 GB
- Storage: 35 GB NVMe
- Bandwidth: 2 Gbps (shared)
- Data traffic: 1 TB/month
- IPv4: ✓
- IPv6: ✓
- Location: Toronto, Canada
At $8 per month this droplet fares poorly in the highly-competitive Canadian market, and at the time of writing, the same hardware specification can be obtained for half the price from other reputable providers in Toronto itself and in the rest of Canada as well. These are comparable alternatives that are presently indexed in our database. The monthly prices displayed below were obtained by dividing the annual prices by 12 and not all providers may offer monthly billing terms.
