Wow, why ? You can get a VPS with 2Go Ram + 10 Go SSD for 3€ those days (https://www.ovh.com/fr/vps/ https://www.ovh.com/fr/vps/).
That seems very expensive.
- Karunamon 10y agoProbably the tooling around Heroku and the scaling. If the site suddenly gets more popular, you tweak a slider and suddenly you have more compute.
- sametmax 10y agoFor a static website you can easily live with 10000 users on this machine. But lets say you need more, for 40 dollars you get 30Go of RAM and a 250 Mbps pipe (https://www.ovh.com/fr/vps/vps-cloud-ram.xml https://www.ovh.com/fr/vps/vps-cloud-ram.xml). To serve HTML pages plus a bunch of css files that should be ok.

Start at 3€/month and if necessary scale up to 6 cores, 8 GB memory, 200GB SSD and unmetered bandwidth (200 Mbit/s) for 10€/month. That should be enough for a static website.
