> You most definitely don't want to be at a cloud provider with their bandwidth charges. Amen to that, I don’t understand how anybody decides to go in that direction for this type of project. For my relatively small hobby-project (3Gbit/s image gallery) we’re renting bare-metal servers for $800/mo — cloud providers would be charging $50,000 just for bandwidth, let alone compute and storage… (Incidentally if anybody knows good CDNs with prices in the same ballpark as bare-metal I’d love to hear it - looks like we’re too big for any of cloudflare’s entry-level plans, but their enterprise support doesn’t want to bother with any customer spending less than $3,000/mo...)
