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?

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.

I would. The only thing you should watch out for is not going over your bandwidth limit, which only applies to outbound traffic.

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

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