Does DigitalOcean support Windows?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:42 pm

DigitalOcean supports Windows, but not as strongly as they do other operating systems. Their Windows support is more geared towards hosting websites and applications, as opposed to deploying servers. For example, they do not offer a Windows server image to use as a basis for creating your own server. That said, their support is reliable and they offer helpful documentation.

PRO TIP: Windows is not a supported operating system on DigitalOcean. DO NOT attempt to use Windows on your Droplet, as you will not be able to receive support from DigitalOcean if you run into any issues.

If you are primarily interested in hosting websites and applications on a Windows server, DigitalOcean is a good option. However, if you are looking for a robust Windows server solution, you may be better off looking elsewhere.
