Having heard some about them and their recent article (root password leaks) I thought, lets try Digital Ocean for a month or so. Here's a little write up about my so far positive first impresssions.
It is a nice control panel they have, it is not the usual WHMCS+SolusVM, but all integrated and targeted a bit more at developers. Ticketing, billing, server information, starting stopping and such, all in one.
Ticket response is quite fast, at least for me it was, asked a question regarding kernel support and within three minutes got a reply back.

My plan is to run a MySQL slave on it for my Free Hosted Piwik Project Which You Can Find Here, since it has more ram than my current LEB's, and even the LEB piwik itself runs on.
