I just use a regular VPS, so there's no AWS mystery billing going on anywhere AFAIK. Haven't hit the front page of Reddit but I have hit the front page of Hacke

I just use a regular VPS, so there's no AWS mystery billing going on anywhere AFAIK. Haven't hit the front page of Reddit but I have hit the front page of Hacker News for awhile.
- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoI have thought about using a Lightsail instance. The cheapest one is only $3.50/month and includes 1 TB of transfer and should be plenty powerful to serve up static files. Or yeah, just use DigitalOcean or someone else. They're pretty cheap, too.
- MiddleEndian 5y agoAWS honestly always scared me because of the black box aspect, but I use my single VPS for a bunch of sites with different functions and like having understanding of what's going on there. But any $10-$20/month VPS would be able to host that kind of thing without too much issue. Another option might be Dropbox. Not sure how quickly their free hosting will crap out if it hits reddit front-page level traffic, but it should be good enough to share here or with your friends or whatever.
