In this video, I will show you how to power off or power on a DigitalOcean droplet from the control panel (dashboard). A green status circle to the left of your droplets name indicates a turned on droplet, and a gray status circle indicates that your droplet is turned off. When turning off your droplet from the control panel, DigitalOcean first attempts a graceful shutdown. If this fails, DigitalOcean will forcibly shutdown your droplet. A forced shutdown does have the potential to corrupt data. If data integrity is important to you then a shutdown from the command line terminal is highly recommended. Below, I have included a link to a video of mine which shows you how to power off your droplet from the command line.
