You can also just get a micro instance from the major cloud providers. Just as cheap, and more reliable and usable with all the cloud tooling.

But then you have to manage the instance. Once you set everything up with S3, your deployment is literally.
aws S3 cp $your-local-directory S3://your-bucket

That's out of context. I was responding to OP getting a cheap VPS provider. If you want a cheap server then it's better to just get a tiny instance from a major cloud instead. Most also have free tiers.
