I just moved from Heroku to Dokku[1] on DigitalOcean w/ my site[2] and it's great. Dokku is basically set up to run in more or less the same way as Heroku except in a container on another platform. There's an one-click install image that you can use to set it up on a DigitalOcean droplet. It took me about 3 hours to move over and set it up, but that's mostly because I screwed up my DNS and nginx configs, otherwise it would have taken 30 minutes. Not sure how it would affect performance compared to Heroku, but I'm fairly sure it would save a lot of money for not too much effort. Perhaps not quite what you're looking for in every way, but you could definitely slash that bill without having to spend loads of time managing the server.
