@uranibaba@lemmy.world, I self host my media server, my *aars, my Usenet client, Home Assistant, dns server, and have some loud af r710s for standing up test AD and simulated network environments. My website is hosted on Google Cloud, moved from AWS bc free tier ran out and g cloud is like $0.42 a month. It’s just whatever makes sense for the thing being hosted.
I should look into AWS as well. Currently using a refurbished Datto NAS, running debian with everything in docker. I also have a r710! But I don’t have room for it at the moment.
AWS is very expensive compared to regular VPS services, and you only really get a benefit from it if you use a lot of different AWS services in a multiple regions. One EC2 instance in one region doesn’t really have advantages over a regular VPS.
If you do want to use AWS, consider using Lightsail. It’s like a regular VPS and has a fixed monthly price for some amount of disk space, CPU, and monthly transfer, father than being dynamically priced.
Exactly this.
