Although my main instance is on Digital Ocean, I have a test/play instance on AWS.
This is really hip & cool: it is an AWS Graviton 2 instance (Amazon's own ARM64 CPU, much like Apple Silicon) [ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/ ]. I run a small t4g.micro instance, 1GB RAM, 8GB Disk. Last bill was just USD 2.89 which is crazy cheap for a full month 24/7. Thanks to the fact that Pharo has a full JIT VM on ARM64, this is crazy fast as well. I am sure that the reason this is so cheap is the fact that it is super efficient. You can try this easily for yourself. > On 13 Apr 2021, at 01:57, Esteban Maringolo <emaring...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What do you use that's so cheap/affordable? > > El lun., 12 de abril de 2021 04:48, Norbert Hartl <norb...@hartl.name> > escribió: > > > > Am 12.04.2021 um 04:02 schrieb Jeff Gray <j...@rogerthedog.com>: > > > > Considering easiest and cheapest, there's always self hosting, or are you > > discounting that idea? > > Most geeks have a bit of spare hardware laying around and broadband > > up-speeds aren't too bad. > > I'm guessing that if we are in the $5 a month ball park then we aren't > > needing a guaranteed up time. > > > > My cloud instance is 3€/month.
