Ask HN: What services and software do you pay for?

This covers either business (e.g., AWS, Facebook ads, Bitbucket) or personal (e.g., Uber, Instacart, Netflix). If possible, please try to list the product not the category (e.g., AWS, not hosting).

Off the top of my head for business: - Shopify - Xero (accounting) - Stitch Labs (Inventory/integration) - Slack - Shipping Easy - AWS - Adobe Creative Cloud - CrossWorks for ARM - EAGLE PCB (PCB layout - the real good stuff is all 10k a seat) - Dropbox Personal: - Tivo - Netflix - Crashplan - Dropbox The better question might be what would you buy given more resources.

  why linode & aws?
  - mindcrime 12y ago
    We use Linode for infrastructure - our website, our CRM system, demo servers, wiki, etc. AWS is just for R&D, temporary demos, etc.

  Also, I forgot: Domain names: a combination of Godaddy, Namecheap and Gandi. I may even have one old domain still with register.com, I really don't even remember.

I'm a cheap guy, just pay: - iwantmyname for domains, a suckless register - digital ocean for testing (vps) - chicagovps.net for long term services (vps) - pagekite, localhost for the world
- foxpc 12y ago
  I'm not very technical but why do you need to use pagekite instead of something like ngrok, which offers fairly good functionality when registered, for free?

Just for personal use, and I'm not exactly a hacker either: Webtropia - Server hosting Gandi & OVH - Domains Dxtory - DirectX/OpenGL capture (one time) I also have a free student account on Github, plus $100 credit on Digital Ocean I should use. Mostly I use free/open source software though (Photoshop CS2 worth a mention?).
