DigitalOcean now supports FreeBSD

Thanks! I'm a long time FreeBSD vps user. It'd be great to check if DO droplets can support CARP failover within the same datacentre, and then expand to be able to do this across datacentres.

My use cases so far haven't involved CARP but I'd like to start experimenting with that!

Any recommendations of other BSD VPS providers?

RootBSD [1] has been around for quite a while. I personally use fileMEDIA [2] and LunaNode. fileMEDIA provides a set of isos, among which you can find FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD (i personally requested them the DFBSD one). On LunaNode you can upload any ISO image or qcow2 file you'd like.

RootBSD is insanely awesome and is the one I'd recommend whole heartedly.

Compile your own kernels, your own world, and they are always on hand for assistance for things that you need help with.

I've been a happy customer for a number of years.
