"Easiest way to get a server up and running."

What do you like best? DigitalOcean has an incredibly easy to use UI. It has a very simple interface that makes it so easy to spin up a new server that even the most inexperienced junior developer can mange the task. It's super simple to throw away test boxes that you no longer need. Its pricing is based on the resources you use, which means you are not locked into paying for a VPS for a minimal term. Only pay for what you use.

"I love DigitalOcean"

What do you like best? There pricing is super competitive. I migrated all my servers to them about a year ago and haven't looked back! I use it often for temporary client tasks, I'll spin up a VM for a few days. I really enjoy that it's self-serve, they offer excellent API, block storage was a great addition.
