Why DigitalOcean for Laravel
DigitalOcean is the most popular VPS among Laravel developers — predictable Droplet pricing from $4/mo (per-second billing as of 2026), a mature ecosystem, and datacenters in New York, San Francisco, Amsterdam, London, Frankfurt, Toronto, Singapore and Bangalore. New accounts get $200 in free credit for 60 days — enough to run a Laravel app free for months.
Deploy in four steps
- Connect DigitalOcean. Add a DigitalOcean API token under Settings → Server Providers.
- Pick region & Droplet size. Choose a datacenter near your users and a Droplet size — live pricing shown inline.
- Provision. Deploynix installs and hardens the full web stack (Nginx, PHP, database, cache, queue) while a live progress log streams. No manual setup.
- Connect Git & deploy. Link GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or a custom repo and deploy with zero downtime — atomic releases with one-click rollback.
