According to the ticket I got, the VPSes are going up 20% but the backup price isn't changing, so your new bill will be around $696/mo, an increase of $1,152/yr. The main alternatives in the budget cloud space are Digital Oce

Does this mean we can expect similar announcements from the other budget cloud providers (they all seem to be around the same price points) or is it time to jump?

45W 24/7 would work out at about £10.50/month in the UK right now (~$12.60). My total household usage averages around 4.5KWh/day so adding that 45W 24/7 server would add about 24% to overall load! It would need to be an

They can but it’s pretty rare for them to do anything about it (and even then it’s normally just a full page div that’s easy to remove with dev tools). I use nextdns (because I was too lazy to setup pi-hole), which has a simple ui for white
