DigitalOcean and Linode are great, but far from cheap. The minimal ELK instance for example requires 4GB RAM, that's 20$ and 40$/month for those two.
That's also what I'm spending on Octodon's 5 servers now (and they have 4GB RAM each). @me @PLA

Why don't you take a dedicated server like a dedibox MD at 65€/month ?
You would have a way bigger machine, no ?

@lord @me @PLA but a very obvious single point of failure.
I still do that for other projets, get a large dedicated server and manage the hypervisor myself, but then everything depends on that single piece of hardware that you can't fix or replace easily, on one network uplink you can DoS, on one Xen server you can't upgrade without downtime (because a real failover server = 2x the current price)
