I run my companies hubot on a $5 a month Digital Ocean instance. It's also far easier than using Heroku because it's just a regular linux server and not a managed/restricted instance.

I also use the $5-tier Digital Ocean droplets to host some side projects. I've had some processes die semi-regularly, though, because the OS does a scheduled maintenance task that maxes out the 512mb RAM. Adding a swap file seems to have taken care of it, though. I wish they enabled them by default on their smallest droplets: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-...

  Or try running an alternate operating system that doesn't run a task semi-regularly that uses up all of your RAM.
