I host Minimal Reader on Digital Ocean and have to seriously reconsider them for production use at this point. I'm considering switching back to AWS, but want to explore my options. Do any of you have recommendations on an equivalently priced alternative?

I hosted a website a while back on Ramnode[1], it was like $7.50 for a SSD based VPS. Prices have actually gone down to $5 since I used it. Pretty similar specs compared to Digital Ocean. But I also used Google's pagespeed service[2] which caches everything on their servers so it was super fast to load wherever. Then I had a backup on another Ramnode VPS on the other side of the country. Never had any downtime.

I'm not super savvy in regards to hosting websites and services and what not, but it worked well for me. I don't know what would be required to host a service like Minimal Reader so this may not even work for you.

Linode

Linode seems pretty equivalently priced, especially with their new SSDs. Do you know how their reliability is?

Had to explain to clients last time this happened only a week or so ago and now have to explain again. Not good.

Will you be explaining how you didn't set up redundancy in the system to handle inevitable outages?
