I run my website and a few other projects on a cheap VPS I got on sale over at SSD Nodes. The host I got has plenty of RAM but the CPU is not powerful at all. However I got a great deal on it and have been overall satisfied with it. The question becomes how to manage a VPS once you have it?
I don't consider myself a sysadmin, I'm a developer, so I wanted something that would make it easy to deploy programming projects I was working on. At first I used dokku and it worked well. But I moved on to CapRover for the more visual UI and access to their pre-configured app catalog. I gotta say, I've been very happy with CapRover. It is easy to deploy web services that I write, and their catalog of pre-setup apps makes it very easy to test out projects without investing much. Also it's very easy to setup a static site to publish on CapRover.
