Name three sub-$10 providers with a working phone number. I'll wait.

That's the point. They don't have one.

I work in German company but live in Wrocław. My private server is Contabo VPS S, 4.99€, 4 years now. For company we pay OVH 200€ because procurement needs invoice with VAT and SLA. Same hardware basically, different paper. Jane's 3x gap makes sense when you split private vs business.

POLISH SERVERS. LOUD FANS. GOOD PRICE.

This is exactly what we see. The self-reported number people give in casual conversation is often their "what I think I should spend" or their business spend. The actual transaction data doesn't care about your LinkedIn profile.

Wait, I'm also a bakery. Small world. I pay $12 for Cloudways, they manage the server part, I manage WordPress. $18 feels high unless you're getting something extra. What host?

SiteGround. The renewals went up, started at $12 now $18. I should look at Cloudways maybe.

In Argentina the official dollar rate is joke, I pay RackNerd with crypto from mining. Real cost for me is near zero. The $7 is fake number, is $0 plus work. This is why polls are difficult, the arbitrage people change everything.

Osaka summer is hot. My home server fan noise was unbearable, moved everything to Sakura Internet VPS. 550 yen, about $3.70. Quiet apartment is worth more than the money saved.
