For my adserver I used $5/month DigitalOcean VPS + Ubuntu + nginx + mysql (LEMP) + Revive AdServer + GeoIP module and it works just great! Ads are served quick and Revive admin is super fast!

DigitalOcean VPS is perfectly stable and the load is really low. It could take much more traffic than this:
DigitalOcean load in past 24h
DigitalOcean load in past month
DigitalOcean load in past year

This setup can be useful for rotating ads on your sites and for GeoTargeting specific ads to specific countries or regions. Also you can use this to sell ads on your site and have the full stats so advertisers can track the performance of their ads etc...
