Can’t get any easier, cheaper or lazier than that.

Woah, does it use an obscene amount of RAM or what? It's been a while since I used it. (Also, I think you meant the cheapest Droplet using the free $100 credit? I don't think there is a free tier. Would be nice tho :)

No, it doesn't. I run three sites on a $5 1GB VM and its rare to see over half the memory in use (aside from cache).
