It's basically what Digital Ocean's droplets cost: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

$5/mo for 0.5G, $10/mo for 1G, $20/mo for 2G. All the standard droplets, except for the 3G for $15/mo one, make you pay $10 more per gigabyte.

Both Vultr and Linode seem to offer twice the amount of RAM per dollar though.

Digital Ocean do a really good value base VPS, but once you're spending $20/mo with them, there's much better options with more traditional VPS providers. They're priced to compete with an EC2 box, while not providing the value-add to go with it, IMO.

I have yet to find a better $/RAM value than Contabo. 7€/month for a dual core 6GB RAM VPS. And the value only gets better the higher you go: https://contabo.com/?show=vps

They just added a $15/mo 6G plan, though, which is mighty nice.

No, it's just 3G for $15/month, so that one particular plan takes $5 per gigabyte like Vultr and Linode.

That isn't to say it isn't a nice deal though.
