The expensive mistake was to use Amazon at all. An own domain name costs about $1/month, an OVH root server less then $10. Install a minimal Debian and Linux Containers on it, and expand your own cloud, if you need it, e.g. by extending with cheap Hetzner servers.
- vertis 12y agoRegardless of what service (AWS, Linode, Rackspace, OVH) if you leak keys or passwords you have the potential for costs incurred by malicious users. I have not used OVH, but a quick perusal of the OVH API[1] suggests that you could invoke plenty of commands that would incur costs.
