- Semaphor 6y agoSomewhat OT, but never realized how expensive those cloud instances are. For comparison, I pay $4.95/month (billed annually) for a KVM VPS with 2 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 40gb SSD, 400 GB HDD in the Netherlands. That seems a lot better for selfhosting where you probably want more raw storage than more SSD space.
- rkachowski 6y agoThat's pretty awesome, what provider are you with?

- christophilus 6y agoNot the OP, but I’ve been using Netcup for video transcoding. It was the best bang for the buck out of a large number of providers I tried.
- jjeaff 6y agoIf that is enough to handle everything you need, then that is definitely a better deal. The electric bill for a similar home server running 24x7 would be more than $6/mo.
