If you pay one year in advance you will pay $5.36/mo. That's what I did... Now I have my own private 250GB Dropbox (owncloud) paying a few dollars... And my own VPN provider, seedbox, testing webserver, DNS server... it's fun!

Wow, that's some pretty good deals! I have a couple projects that need lots of storage space but memory and cpu are secondary. It seems their 250GB unit is $7/mo now, but that's still amazing.

I am using frantech.ca for more than a year, and only got a couple hours of downtime. One day a RAID disk died, my server went offline for 4 hours, but I haven't lost any data.
And they are cheap. I managed to get a 256MB KVM VPS 250GB Dedicated Space 2500GB Transfer for under USD 6/mo.
If anyone is interested, signing in using https://my.frantech.ca/aff.php?aff=626 will give me one free month of hosting.

Has anyone had experience with digitalocean or linode for fairly long term hosting? I've only used digitalocean for occasional VPN use but have had no issues.
I have been using Linode for ~15 years and can't say anything bad about them. They are great. But there have been a few rough patches the in the past three years (the source code for their VPS management console got leaked on the internet).
I'm a little scared of DigitalOcean after reading about them on Hacker News. Apparently when the server has a hardware failure it's protocol for them to delete all VPS on the server and make everyone start from scratch (they do provided a backup services but it cost extra money). I run a small dokku instance on DO and it has never happened to me.
