Will support Nginx with multiple sites, MySQL, etc as long as you're not going crazy with it.
Digital Ocean's VPSs have no support like the usual "shared servers". I guess it will be a turning shift in my approach to website management if I chose that route, because no support=more leaps of faith; but the prices are very exciting !
No support isn't quite accurate. Both Digital Ocean and Linode (they're essentially the same thing, offering the same kinds of packages at the same price points) have decent tutorials describing how to set things up. They (at least, Linode... haven't looked at Digital Ocean) also have forums. They also have a support ticket system, but that's more for notifying them of hardware issues and not general "how do I do X?" questions.
If all you want to do is host a few sites, then that kind of VPS is the way to go. Azure is definitely overkill.
