I have to disagree. Having one mini cinder block = 5 properly scaled cinder blocks (approximately) is close enough. You just use 1-3 instead of 5-15 to build the appropriately sized walls.

My list is similar but I do a UFW setup and move SSH to a non-standard port that is easy to remember (i.e. 12345) to reduce noise in my log files. Is there any particular reason you left firewall setup off?

You would think that but there are several larger industries (i.e. porn) that are attacked in a similar fashion that have not done such things.

I think you are overdoing it simply because per-hour estimates are extremely time consuming to produce and borders on micromanagement. Realistically, tasks should be grouped into roughly day-sized estimates for any long project with an equa

Its probably custom to be 100% honest. The only host I know offering that stuff out of the box using open source is OVH using OpenStack.

I'm in a similar basket with my non-work projects and to be honest, most of what Linode is missing is available if you use multiple providers. For instance, I use OVH object storage in conjunction with an image hosting site on Linode.

"Short term basis" being less than 6 months / 1000 hours? Yes, you will pay a premium. If you can stretch it to 1k hours or 6 months, you will be able to get cheaper prices. I doubt you'd be paying over $200/hr.

Its a question of traffic, dns health checks, etc. as much as # of domains. If you are using it to "just" host a dumb domain record, you can get that for free at your registrar or with Cloudflare.

It is cheaper for you and the OP. It isn't cheaper "with a whole bunch of domains". Route53 would cost me ~$100/month vs. ~$21/month for my own setup.

People keep telling me that but I've worked in S&P 500 companies, startups, etc. Somehow, somehow it never seems to be true if you are doing anything close to "architecting" anything.

Correct. There is a long list of human farming options they employ. They frequently use that one then "pretend" they have workers.
