Hunter's comment

DigitaloOcean's cloud hosting servers are easy to use, dynamic and offer an array of features for both amateurs and professionals.

A new server can be deployed and preinstalled with any specific well known package with the click of a button. The same is true for scaling when the server runs out of capacity.

Payments are on a pay-as-you-go basis. Flat fees were you only pay for actual usage. A server can be turned off and no charges will be made.

In addition DigitalOceans hosts a grand library of detailed tutorials for setting up and configuring servers for most of the common use cases.

Servers are called Droplets and deploying one has the following workflow.

• Select operating system
• (Optional) Select one-click apps like LAMP
• Set Droplet size (CPU, SSD and Transfer)
• Choose data centre region
• Add SSH key

I use DigitalOcean's Droplets myself to host my various projects. Easy to use, no unexpected surprises and never had any issues.
