Hi all! I have some basic scripts I run from my terminal whenever I open them up. It's grown a bit over the past year and it's really becoming hobo infrastructure at this point.<p>I'd like a cloud provider that would not give me any surprises, over a fixed rate, to give me a basic linux box to run these from. Some scripts might be in Rust, Python, Golang. I'm not aiming for them to be too ambitious.<p>I've been eyeing DigitalOcean's droplets for their fixed rates at 5 USD for a while. Also Render, but I'm not sure how flexible that one is. fly.io is complaint central so I'm avoiding them for a while, but I could be convinced with some compelling arguments.<p>What's your go-to cloud provider for this?<p>PS: Merry Christmas!
For your use case you could probably find a Linux vps for well below $5/mo. Even $12/yr for decent specs.<p>Check lowendtalk forum offers:<p><a href="https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers" rel="nofollow">https://lowendtalk.com/categories/offers</a>
If you're looking for a basic Linux box in the cloud to run some scripts, a $5 VPS/VM is the way to go.<p>Render operates one level above VMs and is better suited for full-stack production apps. (I'm the founder/CEO; AMA). Merry Christmas!
