Budget: $20 total. One big VPS or four tiny ones? · VPS Hosting

I have 8 VPS across 4 providers. The monitoring overhead alone is non-trivial. Four OVHcloud boxes means four sets of kernel updates, four SSL renewals to track, four fail2ban logs. Automation helps but you still get paged. One box = one pager.

10TB+ monthly—who's actually sustainable under $20? · VPS Hosting

Current best guess: Hetzner CX21 (EUR 5.35) + Bunny.net ($40-50).

Drop Bunny, use Cloudflare R2 for origin storage + Cloudflare CDN. R2 has no egress fees. You pay for requests and storage only.

Catch: R2 + CDN for video is gray area. But if you keep it low profile, many do it...
