For my hobby projects, I strongly prefer DigitalOcean's $5/month droplet to Amazon's EC2 t2.nano instance (their lowest-resourced offering; ~$4.18/month) purely because I know that I can't screw up the DigitalOcean configs badly enough to get an unexpectedly enormous bill. For simple stuff, the DigitalOcean UI is just so much easier to navigate than the enterprisy AWS console.
