AWS is like the tool I know. I pay roughly 30$ for a CaptainRover install running on Lightsail.

Hetzner starts at 50 Euro, only has servers and Europe and is going to require a ton more work.

AWS has the right idea, they give everyone who asks nicely thousands in free credits to get started. Then 2 years in your hooked. I don't want to learn a new system.

Hetzner Cloud has US and Singapore locations as well, and starts at 5 Euro.

It will take slightly more effort than Lightsail, yes.

I'm looking at the bare metal servers. I'm always open to being wrong...

I still don't think I feel like migration though. Captain Rover isn't exactly lightweight.

Hetzner does start at a much lower price point, and has servers also in Singapore and US (but only since a couple of months)
