Clouds are becoming more accessible.

Good news came to us from overseas.
Amazon AWS EC2 service added support for micro configurations up to 613Mb.



Price for Linux configuration starts at $ 0.02 per hour. That with constant use will cost $ 15 per month, and this is significantly lower than that of the Small instance - $ 0.085 per hour.
I myself have been trying different OSes and settings for about a year, but so far there is no need to constantly keep and pay for my server. And in this situation, and in my case, it makes sense to start and maintain a normal dedicated server. Both 32 and 64-bit architectures are available. For me personally, Amazon is attracted by the flexibility of settings, extensibility and, of course, support from one of the most respected offices.
