You'd be better off with a $5/mo digital ocean VM.
This looks 3x as expensive as Digital Ocean. What am I missing?
Check out more affordable cloud providers like hetzner or OVH.
Digital Ocean $5 per month does fine for many of the applications i build.
If you're that cost sensitive, move to Digital Ocean. They have a better deal.
If you're in Europe, just take a scaleway stardust for €4/month with unlimited traffic :)
Cheaper than Digital Ocean too.. Recently moved my projects there and quite happy.
The prices seem cheaper than Digital Ocean and AWS Lightsail. What's the catch ?
there's a lot of affordable examples such as hetzner - what's missing?
This is unbelievably overpriced.For $25/m you can get a VPS from Hetzner that has 8vCPU, 16GB mem, 240GB disk, and 20TB traffic.For $3/m on Heztner you can get a VPS with 20GB disk and 20TB traffic, which is still a 4x multiple for storage and 100x multiple for traffic.
