Fluence: A cost-effective, transparent alternative
High-performance compute shouldn’t mean tangled configurations, vendor lock-in, or surprise fees. Fluence Virtual Servers is the best Digital Ocean alternative for eliminating the complexity and hidden costs of centralized clouds.
Unpredictable bandwidth overage fees
Exceed your limit and face steep per-GB fees—traffic spikes or breaches can cost thousands. Fluence avoids this with zero egress charges.
Revenue loss from service downtime
Even occasional outages hurt revenue, productivity, and your brand every time your service goes down.
Inconsistent delivery of customer support
Critical issues demand prompt support, yet Digital Ocean users face slow or no assistance at times, worsening costly problems.
Unexpected account lockouts and bans
Sudden lockouts can freeze development and operations—some users report being completely shut out without warning.
Email deliverability issues from shared IPs
Shared IPs on Digital Ocean can get blacklisted, causing your emails to bounce and hurting business—an overlooked cost of centralized infrastructure.
