+register domain if required
+choose droplet, intel is mandatory for being able to scale resize up to other platforms, amd traps in one tier
+for power customers with big work forces and / or a lot of printing of large multipage reports a dedicated cpu is important
+for hosting we should recommend 2gb shared as the cheapest server practical, but ideally dedicated cpu and ram but that's at least 60 bucks a month
+1gb droplet ok if not printing more than 100 pages wo at a time, otherwise fine for most ops
+2gb droplet probably more appropriate as a starting point for biz people
+on the other hand can easily move up so...
+create droplet with ssh keys
+create swap file 
+    4gb more than enough prevents crash oom
+    set swappiness to 10 for server mode
+    make sure to save settings to survive reboot
+    use this guide
