Yes. Digital Ocean got me in the door for $5, but thus far has they have done everything I needed it to do, with clear documentation for how everything works, and no nasty surprises.
As someone doing proofs-of-concept and experimental work, the resource I'm trying to conserve is my own time, and Digital Ocean's value proposition on that is great. Everything works really straightforwardly and I can concentrate on my own code.
I wouldn't suggest Digital Ocean change their high-volume pricing, but the experience they provide to the small-scale user is worth a premium.
