How to Fix DigitalOcean Website CSS Loading Failures
DigitalOcean is a cloud hosting provider founded in 2012 and headquartered in New York. It utilizes KVM virtualization, high-performance SSD storage, and 1000M network ports, with plans starting at 512MB of RAM for as low as $5 per month.
DigitalOcean's low prices and various promotional offers have attracted many users. For instance, XiaoZ Blog currently runs on DigitalOcean, and many others use it to set up Shadowsocks for unrestricted internet access. While the service is known for its stability and quality, unfortunately, the CSS files on the DigitalOcean official website are blocked, causing the page to appear chaotic when opened.

Below are two methods to resolve the issue of DigitalOcean's CSS files failing to load, allowing users to purchase cloud hosting products normally. You can choose the method that best suits your situation.
Method 1: Use Shadowsocks
Simply enable the PAC mode of Shadowsocks for partial proxying. You can edit the PAC file according to your actual needs. This method can solve the blocking issue for any website, but since most users do not yet have a Shadowsocks account, let's look at Method 2.
Method 2: Modify the Local Hosts File
Locate the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on your computer, open it with a text editor, and add the following content to the file before saving. Then, clear your browser cache and reopen the DigitalOcean official website.

Although the loading speed after using Method 2 may still be relatively slow—because not only the CSS part is blocked, but many resources loaded from Google are also blocked—the site can at least be opened normally to purchase the cloud hosting products you need.
