digitalocean looks like a VPS from their FAQ and articles on their 
site.  As such, you'll have to set up your SMTP server, IMAP server, and 
apache yourself.  There are articles on their site about setting all 
those things up using CentOS 6 and Ubuntu.  If you want a "control 
panel" like cpanel, then digitalocean might not be the right hosting 
provider for you.

digitalocean looks like it'd be slightly cheaper than rackspace for me 
running this little crow202.org site.  They don't offer Gentoo as an 
install option though, which means I probably won't switch.
