Properties, in its own words

Our headquarters is located in Broomfield, Colorado, where we lease approximately 4,400 square feet. The lease terminates in February 2028.

We also have entered into leases for small office spaces in a number of locations. Additionally, we have entered into leases with data center operators to operate 20 current and upcoming data centers worldwide, including in the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Singapore and the United Kingdom. We do not own any real property. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet our current needs and that additional or substitute space is available if needed to accommodate growth and expansion.

The story

In 2003, brothers Ben and Moisey Uretsky, who founded ServerStack, a managed hosting business, wanted to create a new product that would combine web hosting and virtual server and target entrepreneurial software developers.

In 2012, the Uretskys met co-founder Mitch Wainer following Wainer's response to a Craigslist job listing. The company launched their beta product in January 2012. In mid-2012, the founding team consisted of Ben Uretsky, Moisey Uretsky, Mitch Wainer, Jeff Carr, and Alec Hartman. DigitalOcean accepted the offer of TechStars 2012's startup accelerator in Boulder, Colorado, and the founders moved to Boulder to work on the product. At the end of the accelerator program in August 2012, the company had signed up 400 customers and launched around 10,000 cloud server instances. On January 16, 2018, new droplet (virtual machines) plans were introduced. In May 2018, the company announced the launch of its Kubernetes-based container service.

In June 2018, Mark Templeton, former CEO of Citrix, replaced co-founder Ben Uretsky as the company's CEO. In July 2019, Yancey Spruill, former CFO and COO of SendGrid (a fellow Techstars company), replaced Templeton as CEO. Bill Sorenson, former CFO of EnerNOC, was appointed as the company's new CFO. Spruill left DigitalOcean in February 2024.

In September 2021, DigitalOcean announced plans to acquire Nimbella, a serverless startup. In March 2022, the company acquired CSS-Tricks, a learning website for front-end developers.

In May 2022, the company released DigitalOcean Functions. Based on technology acquired from Nimbella and the open source Apache OpenWhisk project, DigitalOcean Functions is a serverless platform that allows developers to build and run applications without having to manage servers.

In August 2022, DigitalOcean acquired Cloudways, a Pakistani cloud hosting service provider, for $350 million in an all-cash deal.

In March 2025, Flexential announced a partnership with DigitalOcean to expand its GPU infrastructure. The partnership involves a phased deployment of high-density GPU servers at Flexential's Atlanta-Douglasville data center, aimed at supporting AI and machine learning workloads. This expansion is expected to provide additional GPU Droplets powered by NVIDIA H200 and AMD Instinct GPUs.

Growth

On January 15, 2013, DigitalOcean became one of the first cloud-hosting companies to offer SSD-based virtual machines. Following a TechCrunch review, which was syndicated by Hacker News, DigitalOcean saw a rapid increase in customers. In December 2013, DigitalOcean opened its first European data center, located in Amsterdam. In 2014, the company continued its expansion, opening new data centers in Singapore and London. In 2015 DigitalOcean expanded further with data centers in Toronto, Canada. and Frankfurt, Germany. Later in 2016, they continued expansion to Bangalore, India.

Funding

The company's seed funding was led by IA Ventures and raised US$3.2 million in July 2013. Its series A round of funding in March 2014, led by venture capitalist firm Andreessen Horowitz, raised US$37.2 million. In December 2014, DigitalOcean raised US$50 million in debt financing from Fortress Investment Group in the form of a five-year term loan. In July 2015, the company raised US$83 million in its series B round of funding led by Access Industries with participation from Andreessen Horowitz. In April 2016, the company secured US$130 million in credit financing to build out new cloud services. In May 2020, DigitalOcean raised an additional $50 million from Access Industries and Andreessen Horowitz.

On March 24, 2021, DigitalOcean became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, with their initial public offering price at $47 per share. In March 2026, DigitalOcean upsized stock offering to $800 million to fund its AI and infrastructure growth.

Blocking in Iran and Russia

Digital Ocean was blocked throughout Iran as part of its attempt to cut off use of the Lantern internet censorship circumvention tool.

According to Russian law, any host keeping its citizens' personal data needs to be located in Russian territory. This law led to a temporary block in April 2018 of Google, Amazon, Azure, and DigitalOcean, among others, in Russia by Roskomnadzor as a hosting provider for Telegram Messenger and VPS services.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks DigitalOcean names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 24, 2026: 58 risks under these headings, as written.17

  • Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
  • We expect fluctuations in our financial results, making it difficult to project future results, and if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors with respect to our results of operations, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline.
  • We may not be able to sustain profitability in the future.
  • If we are unable to expand usage of our platform by existing customers, attract new customers and/or retain existing customers, we may not achieve the growth we expect, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • We are focused on expanding the number of DNE Customers on our platform, both through expanding usage by existing customers and attracting new DNE Customers. Net new sales to DNE Customers involve risks that may not be present or that are present to a lesser extent with sales to smaller customers.
  • The market for our platform and solutions may develop more slowly or differently than we expect.
  • Our artificial intelligence and machine learning (“AI/ML”) products and services may not be successful, which could adversely affect our business operating results or financial condition.
  • We use artificial intelligence-based tools in our business operations that may present risks and challenges to our business.
  • If we fail to timely release updates and new features to our platform and adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, or customer needs, our platform and products may become less competitive.
  • We rely on third-party data center providers to help ensure the functionality of our platform and products. If our data center providers fail to meet the requirements of our business, or if our data center facilities experience damage, interruption or a security breach, our ability to provide access to our platform and maintain the performance of our network could be negatively impacted.
  • If our systems or those of the third parties with whom we work or our data are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions, litigation, fines and penalties, disruptions to our business operations, loss of revenue or profits, loss of customers, and other adverse consequences.
  • We may not be able to successfully manage our growth, and if we are not able to grow efficiently, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
The other 47 risks
  • If we underestimate or overestimate our data center capacity requirements and our capital expenditures on data centers, servers and equipment, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
  • We rely on a limited number of suppliers for certain components of the equipment we use to operate our network and any disruption in the availability of these components could delay our ability to expand or increase the capacity of our platform or replace defective equipment.
  • If we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our platform with third-party applications that our customers use in their businesses, our business will be harmed.
  • We rely heavily on the reliability, security and performance of our internally developed systems and operations. Any difficulties in maintaining these systems may result in damage to our brand, service interruptions, decreased customer service or increased expenditures.
  • We rely on our relationships with third-party software providers and other partners for certain essential financial and operational services, and a failure or disruption in these services could materially and adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively.
  • Performance problems or defects associated with our platform may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • The markets in which we participate are competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
  • We may be unable to accurately predict the optimal pricing necessary to attract new customers and retain existing customers. Our pricing model subjects us to various challenges that could make it difficult for us to derive sufficient value from our customers.
  • If we fail to effectively integrate new members of our executive leadership team and senior management or if we fail to retain and motivate members of our executive leadership team and senior management team and other key employees, our business and future growth prospects could be harmed.
  • If we fail to retain and motivate, or fail to attract qualified personnel to support our operations, our business and future growth prospects would be harmed.
  • We have in the past and may in the future undertake internal restructuring activities that could result in disruptions to our business or otherwise materially harm our results of operations or financial condition.
  • Our corporate culture has contributed to our success and if we cannot maintain this culture as we grow , we could lose the innovation, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit we have worked hard to foster, which could harm our business.
  • We have in the past and may in the future be named as a defendant in litigation, including securities class action lawsuits and stockholder derivative lawsuits. Any lawsuits could result in substantial damages, divert management’s time and attention from our business, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Lawsuits may be costly to defend or pursue and are uncertain in their outcome.
  • If we fail to maintain and enhance our brands, our ability to expand our customer base will be impaired and our business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.
  • Our ability to maintain customer satisfaction depends in part on the quality of our customer support. Failure to maintain high-quality customer support could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation, and financial condition.
  • Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy, or reductions in information technology spending, could limit our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our results of operations.
  • Our current operations are international in scope, and we plan further geographic expansion, creating a variety of operational challenges.
  • We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could negatively affect our results of operations and our ability to invest and hold our cash.
  • Our international operations may subject us to potential adverse tax consequences.
  • We could be required to collect additional taxes or be subject to other tax liabilities or obligations that may increase the costs our clients would have to pay for our products and adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Our ability to use our net operating losses and other tax credits to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
  • Changes in our effective tax rate or tax liability may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
  • Our leverage could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, our ability to operate our business, our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, divert our cash flow from operations for debt payments and prevent us from meeting our debt obligations.
  • The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes subject us to counterparty risk, may not operate as planned and could affect the value of our common stock.
  • Our Credit Agreement currently imposes and any other debt we incur may impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities.
  • We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
  • Acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, or alliances could be difficult to identify, pose integration challenges, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our business could be disrupted by catastrophic occurrences and similar events.
  • Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment
  • Activities of our customers or the content on their websites could subject us to liability.
  • Our business could be affected by the enactment of new governmental regulations regarding the internet or the application of additional or different existing governmental regulation to our business, products, or services.
  • Our increased focus on the development and use of artificial intelligence and machine learning may result in reputational harm, liability or other adverse consequences to our business, results of operations or financial results.
  • Evolving data privacy and security requirements, including third-party compliance, present regulatory, litigation, and business risks.
  • Our policies regarding user privacy could cause us to experience adverse business and reputational consequences with customers, employees, suppliers, government entities, users, and other third parties.
  • We are subject to governmental export and import controls, economic sanctions, and foreign investment laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.
  • We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
  • Any failure to obtain, maintain, protect or enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and brand.
  • We may become subject to intellectual property claims from third parties, which may subject us to significant liability, increased costs, and impede our ability to operate our business.
  • We use open source software in our products, which could negatively affect our ability to sell our services or subject us to litigation or other actions.
  • Indemnity provisions in various agreements to which we are party potentially expose us to substantial liability for infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights, failure to comply with data protection requirements and other losses.
  • Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and Our Status as a Public Company
  • Our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline.
  • Future sales of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
  • Our issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans or otherwise, and any conversions of our convertible notes, will dilute all other stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.
  • We are required to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.
  • Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.
  • Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, to the extent enforceable, the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which restricts our stockholders’ ability to choose the judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or employees.
  • Risks Related to our Outstanding Convertible Notes
  • Servicing our future debt, including the 2030 Convertible Notes, may require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our indebtedness.
  • The conditional conversion feature of the 2030 Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings. Defending such proceedings can be costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
