Just to toss this out here, but $20/mo for a linode, is not a huge investment, and it's something that I have even without doing everything "in the cloud". It's handy for those quick file transfers, a small portfolio site, and since you have root access, you can quickly set up or take down any odd services without the hassle of finding a distinct hosting service (Mumble, Mercurial, Subversion, or what have you).
But that's just my two cents.

- pseudonym 15y agoTo be honest, I couldn't tell you-- for the amount of usage that I have on it, it's a flat $20/mo, and I believe I have something like 20G of HD space and 200G of bandwidth, which I've never come close to using up (it's amazing how small your OS is when you're not running a gui). The really nice thing, imo, is the fact that you can pay a couple bucks per month piecemeal to increase any one stat of the machine as you need it.
