If you're are paying double digits or more for cloud hosting, you'd probably get much better bang for your buck by getting a similarly priced dedicated hosting setup.
The main value provided by cloud hosting is easy scalability, not cheap prices.
- jaskerr 11y agoDo you have hosts you would suggest? There are so many hosts out there, it's hard to know wheat from chaff (to put it politely).
- ryanlol 11y agoI'd start out by looking at the OVH offerings, Kimsufi (a part of OVH) has dedis starting from $5 a month in both NA and EU. You can get a cheap "High Availability" setup for $10 with servers on two different continents. Oh, and the bandwidth is free. (Although, 100mbit.) You can max that line 24/7 for a month and pay nothing more than $5, on linode that costs twice as much that'd cost $600 just for the bandwidth. If you need something beefier than Kimsufi, OVH also has their mid-range brand soyoustart (https://www.soyoustart.com/us/essential-servers/ https://www.soyoustart.com/us/essential-servers/) with prices starting at $42 that'll just completely destroy any similarly priced cloud offerings. I'm only focusing on OVH here because they're IMO as the biggest provider in this market they're also the safest choice. Leaseweb and Voxility might be worth checking out too. Quick disclaimer: I'm not currently an OVH customer (their DC locations don't fit my use case) nor am I in any way affiliated with them.
