DO is very "pay as you go" and takes Paypal. No risk, great documentation. I have spun out legacy WP instances here for $5 month instead of EC2 micro. Snapshots only from stopped instances though.

Might revisit my 1st love, Linode, after these comments but ec2-consistent-snapshot by Alestic is a huge draw.

To be fair, you should be using the "reboot" option when you snapshot in AWS to ensure a consistent filesystem.
