Do you not have a ___domain of any sort? It would seem trivial to point TESTAPP.degachevdomain.com to the IP address of the server. Else, just go to the IP.
I have a bunch of domains, but I'm using DO for temporary apps, and would like the DNS records to be automatically created/destroyed along with the droplets.
I think this is a great idea. In many ways they're positioned to become a more flexible/performant version of Heroku. On the complexity scale from Heroku to AWS, they definitely sit right in the middle. It will be interesting to see which direction they tend towards as they add features. Personally I want a version of Heroku with the price/performance of digital ocean. In other words, by default you could use it like Heroku but it would allow you to SSH into machines and customize your software/configuration when you ran into problems. Maybe DO could offer a load balancer that would make it easy to deploy horizontally scaled application servers really easily. A nice DSL to describe the node configuration would go a long way... I suppose this is kind of what Vagrant is solving but they're approaching it from the development perspective, not deployment.
