20 Rails apps might just run out the RAM on that $5/mo offering. But DO doesn't seem like a bad solution for the budget-minded. Heroku gets expensive fast, as do others. I have a Gandi VPS that is running about $40/mo (way more that $150/yr) that can support quite a few apps, but nothing that gets /.-ed or @neilhimself-d. (Happened. Boom.) DO's up-teir plans are still pretty cheap.
