  Check it out yourself: https://www.linode.com/pricing https://www.linode.com/pricing. As I said, "more than 5$", in this case meaning 10$, which gets me a CPU core and 24GB of ssd storage. It replaced a dedicated server that was 50€/mo. That server had probably 8 to 10 times the power but the vpn solution can scale within two minutes if needed. I was also having suspected hardware trouble with the dedicated server that the provider couldn't diagnose / wouldn't replace. It's an incredibly boring setup that serves about 200 visitors on a normal day, 2000 during a handful of spikes /year. I know I could probably run it from a Casio watch but it generates six-figures of revenue / year so a bit of overkill is justified.

    Could you explain, if possible, how do you get six figures revenue from 200 visitors?
