Then create a droplet with this configuration:
1. Enter your hostname. This can be anything you like (e.g. server, svr1, vps, etc...)
2. Select size of your droplet. I recommend $5.00 per month for beginners.
3. Select region
4. Select available setting (optional). I recommend "Enable Backups"
5. Select image. I recommend Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit server OS
6. Click create droplet. Wait 1 minute and check your email to see your IP address and your root password.
7. Using putty, login to your server. Watch this video for more info.
