Then immediately follows with specs and prices:

> Replit.com - $6.40/month

> 2.199GHz/1GB RAM/10GB transfer

vs

> DigitalOcean.com - $6.00/month

> 2.494GHz/1GB RAM/1TB transfer

EDIT: I originally misread 10GB as 10TB - I'll still maintain that it likely doesn't matter. It's a managed VM where deployments are handled for you, for $0.40 more, and if the author is burning through 10GB of bandwidth monthly on hobby VMs I'd be surprised.

> 9TB more of bandwidth per month

I think you mixed up your units. 1TB — 10GB == 990GB. In terms of transfer cost (at least according to those numbers, which I have not verified) DO is orders of magnitude less expensive per GB. Surely that deserves “way cheaper”?

You're totally correct. I adjusted my comment

Your own quote says 10GB from replit vs 1,000GB from digital ocean.

So, assuming your own quote is correct, DO is indeed way cheaper for anything that is more than a toy.

adjusted my comment, apparently you've all pointed out a bug with my meat cpu

Not commenting on price but have you confused 10GB with 10 TB or am I reading everything wrong

I didn’t read the article but your numbers seem to compare 1GB with 10TB.

fixed comment

[xjia]

Because it's 10GB not 10TB?

Thanks, didn't notice earlier
