Some people might say Digital Ocean or Linode or Ramnode or whatev, but I would go straight to AWS. The 't2' class of servers are competitive with Digital Ocea

The 't2' class of servers are competitive with Digital Ocean in terms of pricing (roughly the same), especially if you do a 'reserved instance', and you get a ton of other benefits "for free", like a sane firewall and network, better monitoring tooling, snapshot tooling, and an easier path forwards if you do need to expand to other things like databases or s3.
- e12e 11y agoHow do you figure? The t2.micro is ~10 USD a month with 1GB of transfer. The comparable ~10USD/month plan at DO includes 2TB of transfer. And Amazon doesn't have a 5USD/Month plan, which is probably enough? Apparently 2TB out of a t2.micro comes to an additional charge of 0.09 * 1999 ~ 180 USD. What am I missing? That you probably don't want to use bandwith because no-one will use your hobby projects?
