How these alternatives were chosen
Tools Digital Ocean names as alternatives that this directory also publishes, followed by others in Hosting. The order is not a ranking, and "—" means we have not checked that field — not that the answer is no.
Digital Ocean also lists AWS (broader ecosystem but more complex), Google Cloud (similar services, larger scale), Azure (enterprise focus), Fireworks AI (inference-focused alternative), Lambda Labs (GPU-focused alternative) as alternatives. Those are not in this directory yet, so there is nothing to compare — and nothing to link to.
