How did you set up your VPS?
I started out with DO, but I hit complications trying to keep a simple NodeJS server running. I'd like to have a VPS, and I'm pretty comfortable with the terminal and Node, but I don't want to have to deal with configuring everything, and maintaining it in the future if I don't have to. I ended up just pushing the project to Heroku, and everything works fine, and for free.
Any suggestions?

  Not sure what kind of complications but I am running nodejs on DO VPS for last 6 months without any issues.

  You should checkout forever https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever for keeping node processes running, it restarts the process whenever it crashes. You can use Cron for when the server crashes/restarts.
  Edit: this is a better guide http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13385029/automatically-start-forever-node-on-system-restart
