I doubt that. I was not talking about AWS. The price I mentioned is from Hetzner (by heart though, so I might be a bit off) which is pretty cheap. I have also tested multiple budget VPS providers and they all don’t dare to go below aforementioned price even though there is a lot of competition in the VPS market. Sometimes the more budget providers provide more vCPUs but in my tests those usually turn out to be extremely slow.

I would expect any real user to switch into renting servers as soon as small VPSs aren't enough. (But yes, the fact that there is a market of large VPSs tells people don't to that. I don't think I will ever understand this, as I don't understand most people usage of AWS.)
- maxfurman 4y agoMost buyers are simply not savvy enough to pick the most effective hosting. I worked for a small e-commerce operation years ago, they had essentially no technical expertise in-house, but they knew their products and their market. Odds are very low that their VPS arrangement was optimal but how would they know? As long as the site stayed up and the orders came in.
