Scaleway, Hetzner, OVH, DigitalOcean, etc.

AWS LightSail.

... also the t1.micro is small and cheap. Could you give some concrete numbers?



I only use AWS when consulting customers prefer it.

I get a lot of mileage serving a lot of content for several domains on a free Google Cloud Platform f1 micro instance. I also prefer GCP when I need a lot of compute for a short time.

Hetzner has always been my choice when I need more compute for a month or two. For saving money for VPSs OVH and DO have also been useful but I don’t use them very often.
