> The current landscape bears a striking resemblance to the early days of cloud computing. Fifteen years ago, it was commonplace for individuals and businesses to pay less than $10 a month for shared hosting or a VPS. This pricing model seemed set in stone, with costs expected to continue declining. A Digital Ocean VPS starts at $4 a month. It's not so much that we've lost the cheap part of the cloud, it's that the big cloud providers figured out how to do enterprise sales and capture the part of the market that was already overpriced and wasn't sophisticated enough to optimize itself.
