DigitalOcean offer a VPS, so it's essentially like your own server, where you can install one of the allowed operating systems (CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, among other).
You have to setup everything yourself, that being Java runtime, MySQL server and whatever else you wish to use.
And you have to maintain and update everything.
