I use DO as a private little always-on server, I don't actually host anything worthwhile with them. I signed up mostly because of the $5/month price and the $10 credit. That's half of what I pay for my main hosting account (over at WebFaction) and year, is about what a nice meal out costs. It's nice, quick enough for all my needs and took minutes to set up.
