I currently pay $5 per month for a vps with unlimited traffic on which I run a node js server. I might possibly pay 5$ for this service, but certainly no more for applications that aren't going to have >10k users.
vpscheap.net They have plans starting from 2$ a month, but I need more RAM than that plan has. I think that $60 per year is exactly right for what I need, and they will let you pay a year up front if you want - it would make an excellent Christmas present for anyone geekily inclined.
[I think they have a referrer program and if you tell them that [email protected] recommended it to you I get something, in case you're feeling generous.]
