Ask HN: Any cloud computing instances cheaper than AWS EC2 Micro?
Hello guys, I am looking for a cheaper solution than AWS EC2 Micro instances. Basically my site will not get much traffic and won't need much ram (~256 mb will be fine), I also need very small disk space. What do you recommend?

If you don't have server sided scripts you wouldn't need a virtual root server in the first place, but rather host your pages at github, wordpress or the likes. If you do have active components you could go to Google App Engine, Heroku or PythonAnywhere. If you do need a virtual root server, it's hard to beat a t1.micro, especially if you don't need it 24/7.
You can try appfog(paas).. and if you are coding on nodejs, you can try nodejitsu(paas).
