I do that exact some thing, and I haven't smoked in 3 years. The downside is that if I'm supposed to remember to bring something, in addition to those 3 things, I'm extremely likely to forget it. If it's super duper impo

I don't know if you have a web app or not, or to what extent is has been assed, but regardless of where on the scale from zero to fully assed your app is, you can feel secure that it will be competently hosted by Digital Ocean™.
