(The help center [goes into detail about what's on-topic](http://craftcms.stackexchange.com/help/dont-ask) if you're interested.) This is a great question, however, for a Friday Craft Chat or the Google+ site.

  I'm not in Australia, but I've seen username_4 username_4 (of Perth) [repeatedly mention Digital Ocean](https://plus.google.com/u/0/107146320975542982883/posts/QZSyJjbHyzJ). I've heard other folks describe having a good experience with Digital Ocean as well.
