Maybe I should figure out DO. I disregarded then because I didn't understand their droplets or whatever they're called.

It's worth spending the time figuring out, I think. They do pro rated pricing, so play with it and make mistakes, it won't cost you much to create and destroy some servers if you start from the cheapest to play around with.

They seem more node.js-friendly than other hosts I've tried. I might have to take the plunge.
