When using Digital Ocean droplet as VPN server is it considered an ISP?

With the rollback on the newly proposed FCC rules, can you stay more private when setting up a VPN server on Digital Ocean than with your default ISP, in the United States? Please let me know if I need to further clarify my question.

In theory yes, although the benefit is probably marginal now that everything is over HTTPS. ISPs will be able to sell your history but they won't have anything of value to sell.

In what context? You connect to the droplet via your isp

    Good question. I mean would Digital Ocean be allowed to sell my browsing history like ISP's? Or are they not already bound by that restriction and they can sell that information anyway?
