We were using DigitalOcean for quite some time. We started getting these "Error Establishing a Database Connection" messages several times per day (there was more downtime than uptime). They were getting ~$20 / month from us so when we asked them for support, they tried a couple of things and then told us to get a better plan.

Then we switched to HostGator and magically all of our problems are gone. We are paying them nearly half us much as DigitalOcean. They also migrated our WordPress site from DO to HG for free in about 24 hours. They are kind of slow with answering the phone but once they do they are pretty quick.
I would for sure recommend HostGator over DigitalOcean no question.
