I've used AWS at a former job and I use DO for my own site. $5 a month is pretty affordable for a small site, and its simple. Frankly its probably worth the money instead of wading through all the options amazon has to pull together something small for myself. Amazon has a lot of options and while for large businesses thats great, and they try to keep it simple, it honestly isn't. Plus DO has really excellent documentation on how to do things like set up X.
