I'm a new DO customer as well and I have no problem with this either. The $5 is for devs and designers- $10-$15 gets me something the public can use. No contracts. I have a couple of laptops in the office I use for devs as well- but it's on a dsl with a dynamic ip. To make it static is $30/mo (last I checked). To upgrade from dsl-- I have to switch providers, get a bigger bundle, etc. This is waaaay better. I can still use the office machines- and do- but have something easier for most worker to use on a daily basis. (The office ip is tracked with ddclient and I use dnsdynamic.org to follow it. I also email it to myself 4 times a day because dnsdynamic is free, and a little spotty. By the time I start paying for real ip stuff, I might as well go with DO.)
