You are definitely getting much much more with a free VPS than with netlify. Netlify's value is in being easy, not cheap. If your argument is for being cheap then you will lose that argument all day, every day.
- doctor_eval 3y agoYou really need to explain this. Honestly. Actual numbers. Netlify’s free plan is awesome. You might get more bandwidth with a VPS. But you won’t get a CDN and you won’t get atomic deployments without a bunch of work. You’ll use half your VPS storage on the operating system. You’ll need to keep updating your software and maintaining backups. You’ll spend hours or weeks a year maintaining this thing, versus zero for Netlify. It’s not just about the cost of bandwidth or storage. You gotta compare like with like.
- Takennickname 3y agoYou can't compare like with like. How will netlify compare with the below? 1. Full server control (install any package) 2. Host any kind of server - Django, Rails, etc. etc. 3. Run database servers: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc. 4. Background processes (cron or systemd) 5. Run VPNs and proxy servers for personal use at the same time. 6. Host email servers 7. Multi-purpose usage (Use for remote dev environments, cloud storage, AI/ML platforms, etc.) All. For. *Free*.
