What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1DigitalOcean relies on third-party data center providers, data center space, electricity, network connections and server equipment to run its services.
2It depends on a limited number of suppliers for some equipment components used in its network.
3Its ability to attract and retain customers depends on keeping its services compatible with third-party applications and delivering reliable performance and customer support.

What could go wrong

1A data center outage, security incident or failure by a data center provider could interrupt customers’ access to their applications and reduce revenue.
2Data center expansions require substantial equipment and facility spending; costs can rise before new capacity is fully used, and misjudging capacity needs could affect results.
3The business depends on retaining customers and increasing their use of its services. The 25 largest customers accounted for 27% of revenue (Q3 2026, high), compared with 11% (Q3 2025, high).
