Can you point the everyone else? Just out of curiosity. I know there’s digital ocean but I’m not quite sure they’re cheaper than azure/aws
For the past 5 years i just check server hunter and get the specs I want: https://www.serverhunter.com
Before that, my preferred 'everyone else' was OVH.
On linode i can run a half dozen docker images on a little vm for ten bucks a month. And their s3 is a few bucks a month for 250 gigabytes. The vast majority of projects I deal with have a predictable compute requirement - I don't get the need to pay the ridiculous premiums associated with elasticity. But I'm not exactly running uber or Netflix over here.
I’m renting a beefy dedicated instance from HiVelocity for $55/mo.
