I strongly recommend against Digital Ocean: it has a well-deserved
reputation as one of the worst operations on the Internet due to
its long (and continuing) history of emitting all kinds of attacks
and abuse combined with its refusal to do anything about them.

It's so bad that I've installed a ruleset in every firewall I run
specifically for their address ranges -- and I strongly recommend
that others do the same, because the attacks/abuse will arrive...
it's only a question of when.  (Drop me a line if you want my
working list of their networks.)

They're one of a handful of operations that have *earned* that treatment.
