I recently found out that I could get a 2 GB / 2 Core machine for ~ $15/yr - and my plan is to buy a bunch of them (~ 150 - 200) to make my own cluster for my personal needs, learning and running some stuff I charge $ for. One thing they didn't mention was specifically MongoDB management - Backing up, restore etc. Personally I was planning on using Nomad (or K8S if I could get into the GCP K8S Engine Hybrid Cloud Pre…
I was highly sceptical of it at first, as I had preferred managing deployments on a lower level—and for some good reasons(similar criticisms with Heroku itself). That said, I have adapted and it's been good. Once we had some customizations in place it worked out great. And the plugins are generally well-done. Very little is too obscured.

We've been running a Dokku instance on a single node with PostgreSQL on the same host without any issues for years. It's been pretty solid for us.
Right, but that's not a HA/continuous backup solution for the state (PostgreSQL db), so if the machine fails, you lose the database, and all the data since the last backup. What I'd love is something Dokku-like in simplicity for setting up HA/master-slave postgreSQL. A tool that I just install on two servers and it does everything needed for HA such as replicate continuously. Even without the HA, just continuous repl…

That seems like a great deal. Where did you find it?
Then, I automated buying a ton of them into one bill as they generally don't allow you to bulk buy (which lead to a failed bill as it broke their billing. This lead their sales team to contact me to discuss my usage. Then they provided me with a better quote than the one on Lowendbox).
I wrote $15 / yr as that's the "discounted" price on Lowendbox. But if you bulk buy or buy with a commitment for 3 yrs - it's even cheaper (or you can negotiate to get more stuff for the same price). I can't talk about how much I end up paying as we've a special deal based on our usage.

Where can you get that?
Dokku is good but I prefer CaptainRover (previously CaptainDuckDuck). It solves lots of problem I had with dokku in the past.

I looked at the Dokku website and despite even looking at the docs, I still have no clue what it actually does . I see that a lot with SaaS software or fancy OSS projects. Maybe it's just my German attitude, but I don't want to know how astounding and wonderful your product is, but what it does and how it works!

Is there a way we can make what we do more clear?

What problems were those? We (currently, though this will change _very_ soon) do not have HA support, but otherwise I'd hope that any issues you've had are things we've resolved, or that there are open tickets for them.

Not exactly saying your host will do the same, but there's a reason almost all the hosts offer same locations (NY, LA and Chicago), and those specs with that price (even without discount) is unbelievable cheap, maybe too cheap
