I went to DO's site due to your comment and I don't see anywhere where I can just get a server. Do you mean a VPS/Droplet? (I'm looking under Products and Solutions.)

Not GP, but yes -- Droplets are DigitalOcean's "servers" (virtual, but nonetheless).

You boot one up in less than 30 seconds, and get ssh access to it almost immediately. It's very BS-free.

The other commenter was correct - I meant a droplet. Should have been more explicit, apologies. But yeah if you're looking to learn how to work with backends, going through a droplet set up is by far the best way to get started IMO.
