This breaks down running on a P2P CDN on Google Cloud, but the same can be done on AWS, Azure , Digital Ocean. Digital Ocean definitely has the best bandwidth

Digital Ocean definitely has the best bandwidth rates AFAIK and has enough regions to serve as a solid backbone.
- nik736 9y agoVultr is half the price of DO and has even more regions.
- jloveless 9y agoEven better! Writing deployment scripts for that. Thanks for the tip!
- lgierth 9y agoAnd Vultr gives you BGP Anycast :)
- kuschku 9y agoYou can actually get even cheaper. Check out https://git.io/vps https://git.io/vps, where I made a comparative listing of different providers.
- jloveless 9y ago+1 this is great. Thank you!
- j_s 9y agoSee also: https://github.com/joedicastro/vps-comparison https://github.com/joedicastro/vps-comparison comparing "≤5$" VPS options.
- fapjacks 9y agoThis is actually a pretty good list. The VPS hosting industry is actually one of the most awful, bottom-feeding industries that exist. I've been buying VPS from many different providers for fifteen years or something, and the one thing I learned is that the vast majority of VPS providers are scumbag thieves and fly-by-night scammers. I'd also include Ramnode on this list of good VPS providers, but otherwise I'd stay far away from any provider not listed here.
- kuschku 9y agoI wanted to add Ramnode, but didn’t have the time (work, open source projects) to do that yet. Thanks for reminding me!
- jloveless 9y agoAnd looks like there's a docker-machine api for Vultr as well [1]. Thanks again for this! [1] https://github.com/janeczku/docker-machine-vultr https://github.com/janeczku/docker-machine-vultr
