[Hidden-tech] Alternative to SiteGround?

[Bram Moreinis]

Recommendation:

Use Linode instead of AWS.  It isn't managed, but they provide great 
service: https://www.linode.com/

It's similar to Digital Ocean in that you can duplicate and engineer 
different server configurations.

If all you want is a command line without the GUI, Linode gives you that 
too.

You can buy Linode time by the day.
