      Wow, killer price! I need to check that out. I’ve had my Digital Ocean account for so long I’m on autopilot lmao.

        There’s a whole community around finding affordable hosting for a variety of use cases. https://lowendtalk.com/ I found my current provider there and on Black Friday they were offering an exclusive lowendtalk deal (called the 6666) where I pay $66 every 2 years and get 6gb ram 6vcpus and 66GB disk and 6tb transfer on a 10gbps line. these smaller hosts won’t have all the same features digital ocean and vultr have like 1-click templates.

          I honestly don’t really need any of the 1-click stuff. I pretty much live in the command line, so the main thing is bringing down cost for the future.

          That’s a really good deal! Thanks for the heads up. I’m gonna start looking around.

        I found out about it here. There was a thread a few weeks back. Search for racknerds in this community.

        I think they’re still running their 4th of July special.
