So that was the only argument. Wow, I'm glad I finally got to it, but I'm not amazed. All it took is making it up myself.

I don't use AWS so ok thanks. And if I did, I would use their ingress/gateway solutions, which totally circumvent this problem (while being quite expensive anyway).

I agree, AWS is way too expensive. In fact you have a good point which is that the cost of compute on AWS is significantly higher, such that the relative cost of IPs isn't as significant. You can get a solid VPS from Hetzner for the cost of an AWS IP address.

What's your preferred provider?

I don't feel it would be right to just give you an answer after chasing yours 11 messages deep and finally having to make it up myself. I don't have the kind of emotional energy it takes to communicate with you.
