There's valid uses for the $1/mo. server, I can have five boxes for the price of one. Spread out amongst different providers, that's called redundancy. I don't get that hosting everything w/AWS. Customer service? What's that? I have ssh I don't need customer service, only if the box goes down. My $1 servers been up for months, and if one drops, I have four others. I've had great experience paying $1/mo and never contacting the provider for anything. "Don't use $1 servers" is FUD and probably will be showing up "news stories" from Amazon soon about how terrible and evil these low cost provider are.. Let me address the security issue quickly too. Look, anything - you put on a server not owned by you, is not your data anymore. That's what people need to understand about the cloud. I don't care if its Bob's hosting, or AWS or Dropbox or Onedrive. Anything you don't want others to read should be encrypted before it leaves your PC, period.
