Solution for CSS Loading Failure on DigitalOcean Official Website

Publish: 2015-08-05 | Modify: 2018-09-12

DigitalOcean is a cloud hosting provider established in 2012, headquartered in New York. It uses KVM virtualization and high-performance SSD storage. With servers equipped with 1000M ports, it offers plans starting from 512MB of memory, with the lowest monthly payment being $5!

DigitalOcean's low prices and various promotions have attracted many users, including Xiaoz's blog which is currently hosted on DigitalOcean. Many people also use it to set up Shadowsocks and achieve the goal of bypassing internet censorship. In terms of stability and service, it is very reliable. However, it is unfortunate that the CSS file of DigitalOcean's official website is blocked, resulting in a messy page layout.

To solve the issue of DigitalOcean's official website not loading CSS files, here are two methods for users to choose from:

Method 1: Use Shadowsocks

Simply enable partial proxy mode in Shadowsocks' PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) mode. You can edit the PAC file according to your actual situation. This method can work for any blocked website. However, since most users don't have a Shadowsocks account, let's move on to method two.

Method 2: Modify the Local Hosts File

Find the hosts file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on your computer and open it with a text editor. Add the following content to the hosts file and save it. Then clear your browser cache and reopen DigitalOcean's official website.

199.27.79.249    cloud-cdn-digitalocean-com.global.ssl.fastly.net

Although the loading speed is still slow after using method two, as not only the CSS part is blocked but also many contents called from Google are blocked, at least you can open DigitalOcean's official website and purchase the cloud hosting products you need.
