I hosted a website a while back on Ramnode[1], it was like $7.50 for a SSD based VPS. Prices have actually gone down to $5 since I used it. Pretty similar specs compared to Digital Ocean. But I also used Google's pagespeed service[2] which caches everything on their servers so it was super fast to load wherever. Then I had a backup on another Ramnode VPS on the other side of the country. Never had any downtime.

I'm not super savvy in regards to hosting websites and services and what not, but it worked well for me. I don't know what would be required to host a service like Minimal Reader so this may not even work for you.
