Why people switch from DigitalOcean
The most common reasons traders, agencies, and devs come to DigiRDP from the competition.
Linux-only — no Windows Server
DigitalOcean deliberately skips Windows. DigiRDP covers both Windows RDP and Linux VPS with Windows licence bundled.
No forex or trader tiers
DO is a generalist developer cloud. No MT4/MT5 pre-install, no broker-DC badging, no scalping-tuned tier.
No INR billing
USD-only. DigiRDP real INR with GST invoices.
Crypto not native
DO cards + PayPal. DigiRDP USDT/BTC/ETH auto-confirmed.
