Just transferred this site to a Digital Ocean "droplet" which is what DO calls a VPS.

The instance is being hosted in Singapore.

Things I like at the moment:

• Fast provisioning
• ping times to the DO Singapore datacenter are quicker than to Rackspaces ORD data center (hence response from Australia will probably be better)
• Easy to use control console the DNS Manager is well good
• Price for 2GB ram with 2cpus is less that the 1GB 1cpu Rackspace offering

Things that I don't like as much.

• The overall polish of the service doesn't seem as solid as Rackspace's offering, but time will tell.
• No mailgun service
