Have you tried digitalocean?

  I'm considering them, but it's not obvious from their sales copy if the service they're providing is simple (upload files; start server from bash), or if they've got some complicated tooling that I'd need to use before anything actually works. They don't have a free trial account to just spin it up and see, so I wanted to be sure. Would you recommend them?

    > upload files; start server from bash That's pretty much it. They give you a server you can do whatever you want with. The 'droplets' are billed by the hour so you could try it for a few pennies. I don't think you even need to spend any of your own money. I've seen referrals that give you credit for signing up. > Would you recommend them? I would. The only thing you should watch out for is not going over your bandwidth limit, which only applies to outbound traffic.

      Have a droplet running my app now. Thanks again for the recommendation.

      Very useful, thanks! I'll put them at the top of my list.
