That's probably the best option for self-hosting, IMO. There are
options out there that don't even cost as much as $4/month, if low
cost is your primary objective and especially if you're willing to
trade some performance for a lower price. https://lowendbox.com/ is a
good place to start looking if you want a cheap VPS.

Or just get a cheap web hosting package somewhere and you won't have
to deal with the hassle of keeping the server running and secure.

Otherwise, while I don't use it myself, supposedly Let's Encrypt
supports validation via DNS. That might be worth looking into as well.
