How do I check if DigitalOcean is having issues?

This page checks DigitalOcean availability in real time. You can also monitor DigitalOcean continuously with Visual Sentinel, get instant alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp when DigitalOcean goes down.

How can I get alerted when DigitalOcean goes down?

Set up a free monitor for digitalocean.com on Visual Sentinel. You will get alerts within 60 seconds via your choice of 10 notification channels including email, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Telegram.

Where is the official DigitalOcean status page?

The official DigitalOcean status page is at https://status.digitalocean.com/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects DigitalOcean issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

What happens to my Droplet during a DO data-center outage?

Your Droplet becomes unreachable until the data center recovers. DigitalOcean does not automatically migrate Droplets between regions during an outage. Multi-region redundancy requires customer-side setup (load balancer + Droplets across regions).

Does DigitalOcean App Platform keep serving traffic during a build outage?

Yes. App Platform separates builds from runtime. Running apps stay online; deploys that were mid-build when the incident started may be rolled back. New pushes queue until the build infrastructure recovers.

about this service

About DigitalOcean

DigitalOcean is a cloud provider popular with developers, indie hackers, and small-to-mid startups, running Droplets (VMs), App Platform (managed PaaS), Spaces (S3-compatible object storage), Managed Databases (Postgres, MySQL, Redis), Kubernetes (DOKS), Load Balancers, and a developer-friendly control panel. Outages are usually scoped per data center (NYC, SFO, FRA, AMS, BLR, SYD, TOR) or per product. Droplet host-node failures can affect a small subset of customers at a time. App Platform outages block deploys similarly to Heroku. Managed Database outages affect customers who did not set up read replicas or point-in-time recovery.

The official DigitalOcean status page is at status.digitalocean.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
