It looks like you are over-paying for a lot of services. Like someone else mentioned, for starting out something like Linode or Digital Ocean would be cheaper.

Also, 8c/message for SMS is very high. Twilio has international SMS service that ranges from .75c to around 3c a message. (disclaimer, I have interned there)
On the implementation, it also seems like a NoSQL DB like MongoDB might not be the best choice. This is because it seems like you are dealing with a lot of relational information, which is significantly more complicated to implement in a non-relational database that is not designed for that.
These are just my opinions. I like the front-end design!
- rm2kdev 13y agoThanks for your suggestions, i had not considered Digital Ocean purely because I'd not had any experience with it or know anyone who's used it before. Regarding the relational data that is one of the challenges I faced when building the application. I used NoSQL because I had recently had some experience with mongo and mongoose thought it would be easier then I realised I would have to begin making multiple selects and concatenating data together to bring back average ping stats for the dashboard etc which made it somewhat harder.
