DigitalOcean Hosting enables flexible control of teams, and servers, which together with a robust API offers the ability to manage Platform Earth hosting and billing by independent legal entities.
The first step to using the API is to generate a personal access token. Personal access tokens function like ordinary OAuth access tokens. They can be used instead of a password for DigitalOcean over HTTPS, or can be used to authenticate to the API over Basic Authentication.
At some point you may want to run your own Federated Wiki site, or perhaps set one up for friends or a class. We've had good luck installing on Digital Ocean, which currently offers very cheap hosting and a much simpler setup than services such as Amazon Web Services.
DigitalOcean is an American virtual private server provider based in New York City. The company leases capacity from existing datacenters, including sites in New York, Amsterdam, San Francisco, London and Singapore.
