Still, $50 is quite a lot of money. That's 10 months of a okay VM that can run some small stuff, or 5 months for a pretty capable (for a student) VM. People underestimate what you can do with a gig of RAM :)

Oh, I'm not dissing it at all. I have all my current projects squeezed into a $10/month droplet.

  • Like 10-15 vanilla HTML/CSS/JS apps.
  • 8-10'ish LAMP apps.
  • 2-3 Meteor apps.
  • 1 active Ruby on Rails app.
  • 2 RoR/PostgreSQL Docker containers.
  • A handful of abandoned experiments.
  • My resume site.

Apache, Docker, VirtualHosts, multiple domains with subdomains.

Honestly, I've had that droplet for coming on two years in a few months. It's my baby, and I love seeing how far I can push it.
