TL;DR: Move from Digital Ocean to Hyper.sh and run the same blog in a container for $3.69 per month.

If you'd rather run you applications as Docker containers take a look at Hyper.sh.

Diogo Monica describes the process nicely here: https://diogomonica.com/2016/12/03/build-once-run-where-migr...

It depends on how many containers you want to run, if you have a lot of low memory requirement containers then it'd be significantly more expensive on Hyper.sh

Sure, it always depends on the workload. You could also argue that if you want to run applications in containers you'd be better off using Hyper.sh than 'wasting' cycles running your own Docker daemon + scheduler on top of another provider.

If you can describe your workload I'd be curious to do a comparison.
