01

Price alone is not the whole comparison

CPU scheduling, storage capacity/media, transfer, backup, IP allocation, support scope, billing term and region can be worth more than a small monthly price difference. Choose the operating model that matches the workload.

02

No cross-currency sleight of hand

DigitalOcean publishes in a foreign currency while DotMoose publishes in CAD. We do not silently convert one currency to make either provider look cheaper.

03

Provider claims belong to the provider

Descriptions of DigitalOcean come from the linked provider source and are date-stamped. DotMoose does not imply affiliation, endorsement or independent testing of that provider.

04

Performance requires measurement

vCPU count is not a benchmark. CPU generation, contention, storage, network path and workload all matter. See the DotMoose benchmark methodology and raw evidence instead of treating plan-table numbers as speed scores.
