Neocloud

DigitalOcean

Paperspace's GPU cloud folded into DO: simple droplets-style H100s for smaller teams.

After acquiring Paperspace, DigitalOcean sells GPU Droplets (H100, H200, MI300X, L40S...) with the same simplicity pitch as its CPU cloud. Not the cheapest, not the biggest, but the easiest on-ramp for teams already on DO.
