Its roughly the same as DO, etc. Yes, its more expensive than buying a dedicated server. I define anything cheaper than AWS/Google Cloud/Azure/etc. as "cheap". I am assuming you are using a reasonable level of bandwidth [e.g. 100GB+] when making such statements. Really the only places you can find even cheaper VMs is sites like lowendtalk.com and you really don't want to go that cheap if you can avoid it. > Debatable Let me put it this way, "contractually obligated to".
