Out of all of the virtual hosts, I would have pinned Digital Ocean's to be the most simple to navigate.

My opinion:

It's structure is simple, but that doesn't preclude it from being confusing.

For example, where do you go to see a list of your volumes (virtual block storage, like EBS)? Well you click on the "Droplets" button which shows you a list of Droplets (instances).

Personally, I would've rathered that they rename "Image" to "Storage" and put both images and volumes under that.

Similarly their new "Monitoring BETA" product/section is just a confusing name for Alerts.

totally agree. Try to manage servers on any competitor. Never seen a better UI/UX than on DO. Nevertheless interesting extension.
