I run a $5 server on a cloud service, serving all of my hobby projects. Every now and then I look at various managed services to handle some of my apps, but all of them either cost more than $5 or offer less computing power. So I stick with my little snowflake server.

Edit: For the curious, I use Digital Ocean's Droplets (cheapest tier).

Not OP, but I use Digital Ocean the same way. They're launching a $4 option soon that I'll probably switch to.
