    <p>Recommendation: <br>
    </p>
    <p>Use Linode instead of AWS.  It isn't managed, but they provide
      great service: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.linode.com/">https://www.linode.com/</a></p>
    <p>It's similar to Digital Ocean in that you can duplicate and
      engineer different server configurations. <br>
    </p>
    <p>If all you want is a command line without the GUI, Linode gives
      you that too. <br>
    </p>
    <p>You can buy Linode time by the day. <br>

      That is the issue I face as a host. I know a cloud format is
      better than the single server format for hosting for several
      reasons, principally redundancy, management and distributed
      content. But in my experience, we're in a transition time when all
      the clouds that are affordable enough and could be used for shared
      hosting are owned by the same big companies that are trying to get
      our information and that I don't want to support. <br>
      <br>
      I do believe private clouds will become more affordable and usable
      over time. In the meantime we do our best -- our servers are
      hosted in relatively green colo's that have direct access to the
      internet backbone, we back up every day and, for any sites that
      need it for bandwidth and global distribution, use a CDN - mainly
      Cloudflare, or Sucuri if they need a firewall too. Love Sucuri.<br>
