I just started hosting the core of statically.io on DigitalOcean. I like how easy it is to have everything in here, CPU, RAM, disk, network, firewall, it has proven to save my time.

For example, on the URL to Image service I run, I'm running a heavy Chrome browser there, and it works fast and fine. Well OK I can still run this software on Google Cloud or AWS, but I don't want to lose all this convenience.

You can try it yourself:

https://cdn.statically.io/screenshot/:url

Live: cdn.statically.io/screenshot/dev.to

Your website will be accessed from DigitalOcean IP addresses with the Statically-Screenshot user agent.
