@levelsio @brian_lovin That's so true.
Migrated from AWS to Hetzner last year and my sever costs reduced from $800 to $20 for a project
AWS ElastiCache costs alone can buy me 20 Hetzner server where I can install redis in Docker container and use for free.

I get 4,150,000,000 (4 billion) requests and 300,000,000 (300 million) visitors per year
That'd cost me $338,913 if I wasn't on a VPS like @brian_lovin below
Instead I pay $2,932/year or 115x less because I host my sites on my own VPS
My VPS servers are way too big and usually only use 10% of their resources so I could even go with $300/year probably if I optimized more (but I don't care)
Especially with AI these days it's easier than ever to host your sites yourself, and way cheaper! 100-1000x cheaper!

@levelsio@levelsio
The fact that 100,000s requests cost you $20 is more worrrying than Tencent scraping

just opened stripe and saw A$28.31 sitting there
I vibed-coded a random site like 6-7 months ago, literally forgot it existed, never marketed it, never touched it again
188 clicks. 5k impressions.
one single payment.
the graph looks like it woke up from a coma and decided to pay my coffee tab
anyone else got a zombie side project that randomly sent them money?

@dhh Thank you, sir! I switched my little projects from AWS to a VPS after following your suggestions, and my server bills have dropped from $800 down to just $80 😆
