If your MySQL is dying because of lack of memory, this is a sign that you need to upgrade your RAM, adding at least 1GB more, not to add swap.
I understand the economical aspect, but today the price per GB of RAM is cheaper than ever. If your provider is charging too much for your budget, and price is your first priority, you can find really cheap OpenVZ options here https://lowendbox.com/tag/openvz/ There are providers offering servers per year and others with 5GB RAM servers for $5/month.
