I've been very happy with DigitalOcean but be aware that $5 is not going to get you very much. If it's a small web app or static site then the $5/mo droplet will be fine but plan to be spending more like $15 or $20/mo very soon.

Edit: If price is your biggest concern then maybe look at Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-compute/#pricing) to get you started for less $.

I've also been quite happy with DigitalOcean for the last 2 years. Pricing is good, and I've had 0 downtime.
