I'm using the AWS lightsail instances for running a bunch of small servers. They cost between USD 3.50 for a very small instance (512Mb) all the way up to about USD 160 for a 32Gb one. A 4Gb instance is USD 20 per month. There's a few extra costs if you want a fixed IP and DNS hosting etc, but it's pretty competitive. Regards, Euan.
