What this means for you
When you create a server, you now pick the provider. Choose DigitalOcean and you get a genuine DO droplet, real DigitalOcean infrastructure, provisioned through their API, but paid for the NoctHost way: crypto, no card, no KYC, hourly billing.
- More capacity in the same cities. DigitalOcean adds a second network in cities across Asia, Europe and the US, so a full region on one cloud has a fallback.
- A second independent network. Running on more than one provider means one cloud's outage doesn't take everything you host down with it.
- One balance, one API, one dashboard. No new account, no new payment method. Your crypto balance covers servers on either provider, and the same REST API deploys to both.
Why we added it
A single upstream provider is a single point of dependency, for capacity, for regions, and for the small risk that any one provider's decision affects your fleet. Running on more than one cloud makes NoctHost more resilient and gives you real choice at deploy time, without asking you to manage separate accounts or juggle payment methods.
How to use it
New DigitalOcean servers are paused for now, so pick Vultr, Hetzner or Linode for your next server. Droplets you already run keep working. Hourly billing, dedicated IPv4, full root and the crypto top-up flow work the same on every backend.
Same balance, same API, no KYC. Linode and Hetzner followed; there are four clouds on one balance now.
