Well, if you're going to use bad figures, then sure, AWS won't win. The default size there is 768MB RAM, 1 cpu, and 50GB disk... which it says AWS will provide for $54. Whereas in actuality a t2.micro with those specs only costs $14, lower than all the listed prices (which are all clearly out of date)

Not to mention all the big names missing from that list. For some reason Dimension Data makes the list (and it's woeful, from experience), but there's no Digital Ocean, OVH, Hetzner, etc...

As per my other reply: A t2.micro does not allow you to use more than 10% of the vCPU on a sustained basis. Any use over that needs to be earned, and you only earn 6 credits (for one minute each) per hour.
