Troubleshooting

How to fix DigitalOcean not working

DigitalOcean is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach digitalocean.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Check DigitalOcean's official status page
Use the official status page to look for an incident that names the product you use. An empty status page points to your network or account. That check is quick.
Test the control panel from another network
Try the control panel from a phone on mobile data or from another Wi-Fi network. If it loads there, your local network or DNS resolver is the likely cause; switch the device to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 and retry.
Power cycle the affected Droplet
Open the Droplet in the control panel and use the Power menu to power cycle it. If it still does not respond, open the Recovery Console and check the console output before and after the restart.
Test the API with doctl
Run `doctl account get` to see whether the CLI can authenticate; if it fails, create a new API token under Account, API and run `doctl auth init` again. If the CLI works but a resource still fails, contact support through the help centre and include the command output.

While DigitalOcean is down: what to use instead

AWS If a droplet or managed database is unreachable and the outage runs long, you can launch a comparable instance here and repoint DNS once your app is ready.
Google Cloud Use it for Kubernetes or object storage when your workload can move regions.
Microsoft Azure Pick this if your team already runs Microsoft services or you need a second region for a temporary failover.
Linode A simple Linux VM here can replace a droplet for basic compute and block storage while the control panel is unavailable.

Your device

Fix DigitalOcean on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

DigitalOcean on Windows

Fix: Flush your DNS cache via the Command Prompt and check if your firewall or antivirus is blocking SSH (port 22) or web traffic to DigitalOcean. You can also try disabling any active VPNs or proxy settings that might interfere with the connection.
Check: Try accessing the DigitalOcean Control Panel in your web browser or use the command prompt to ping their status page. You can also verify if the DigitalOcean API is responding by checking their official status portal.

Command Prompt

ping digitalocean.comTest whether DigitalOcean's servers reply

nslookup digitalocean.comCheck that DigitalOcean's DNS resolves

tracert digitalocean.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

DigitalOcean on Mac

Fix: Clear your browser cache, flush your DNS directory service cache via the Terminal, and ensure your SSH keys are correctly loaded. Verify that your macOS firewall or local network security software is not blocking connections to DigitalOcean.
Check: Check if the DigitalOcean control panel loads in Safari or Chrome, or perform a traceroute in the Terminal to test connectivity to your droplets. You can also monitor the official DigitalOcean Status page for regional outages.

Terminal

ping -c 4 digitalocean.comTest whether DigitalOcean's servers reply

nslookup digitalocean.comCheck that DigitalOcean's DNS resolves

traceroute digitalocean.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

DigitalOcean on Android

Fix: Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to rule out local router issues, or clear your mobile browser's cache and cookies. If you are using a third-party DigitalOcean management app, clear its app data and restart it.
Check: Attempt to log into the DigitalOcean console using a mobile web browser to see if the interface loads. You can also check the DigitalOcean Status page or community forums for reports of mobile access issues.

DigitalOcean on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Reset your network connection by toggling Airplane Mode, or clear Safari's history and website data in your device settings. If you use an iOS SSH client to manage DigitalOcean droplets, verify that your private keys are properly imported.
Check: Open Safari to see if you can access the DigitalOcean homepage or cloud console. You can also use a network utility app to ping DigitalOcean's servers or check their official system status page.

About

What happens when DigitalOcean goes down

DigitalOcean is a US cloud provider for developers and small teams. It sells Droplets, managed Kubernetes and databases, object storage, and App Platform hosting, so an outage interrupts dashboard and API access, SSH, database connections, and the sites you host.

Symptoms depend on the product: the control panel and API may return errors while existing Droplets keep running, SSH sessions time out, sites on App Platform return server error pages, and managed database clients fail to connect. Object storage uploads and downloads can stall while DNS changes and load balancer edits refuse to save. Control-layer trouble tends to hit dashboard and API actions first; a regional network fault shows up as unreachable hosts and dropped connections before anything in the panel changes. Problems are often partial: one region or one product fails while other resources stay up.

Questions

DigitalOcean FAQ

Is DigitalOcean down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether user problem reports for DigitalOcean are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Those reports go to a public outage-reporting service; this site collects none and does not ping or monitor anything itself. Check the official status page at https://status.digitalocean.com/ and test your own side by loading another site and switching networks. A problem that follows your network or browser belongs to your setup.

Why does the DigitalOcean control panel show a Bad Gateway page when I open a Droplet?

A Bad Gateway page usually means the web front end could not reach the backend that serves the control panel, so the page fails before your Droplet's own state matters. Try a hard refresh and a private window first; if other pages in the control panel load, the problem is often isolated to that view. Check the official status page before you reboot anything, because a reboot will not fix a control panel routing fault.

My SSH connection to a Droplet says 'Permission denied (publickey)'. Is that an outage?

That message means the server answered on port 22 and rejected the key your client offered, so authentication failed before any network outage matters. Confirm you are using the right private key and that the public key is in the Droplet's authorized_keys file for the user you connect as. If the connection times out instead of returning that message, then look at network and host status.

Why can't I create a new Droplet and get a message about my account limit?

New accounts and accounts with recent payment changes can hit a Droplet limit before any capacity problem appears, and the control panel will stop the create flow rather than queue the request. Check the billing section for a failed payment or an unverified account, then open a support ticket from the help centre if the limit looks wrong. This is an account restriction, so the status page will not show it.

Do DigitalOcean Spaces or App Platform outages show up on the same status page as Droplets?

The official status page lists components separately, so a Droplet outage and a Spaces or App Platform problem can appear in different sections, and one can be healthy while another is degraded. If uploads to Spaces fail with a timeout but your Droplet still responds over SSH, the fault is likely in the object storage path. Read the component names on the status page before you change your app's configuration.

How we track DigitalOcean

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for DigitalOcean, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for DigitalOcean, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from DigitalOcean's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
