Did the same thing 2 days ago! And cannot stress enough how rewarding the experience was. Although I never heard of Digital Ocean so I chose linode, but I'm also very happy with them so far.
I have asked Digital Ocean about the possibility for Stackscripts, and I don't think they have planned for it, sadly.
It is nice to order a server, choose a stackscript, and have a server to deploy to without even logging in on the instance.
