I'm going to second the Syself ( https://syself.com ) recommendation. We're running our entire PaaS platform (Sherpa.sh) on top of Hetzner with Syself. We are 5x more affordable than Vercel and a big piece of that is be

This is actually a decent idea. I have a friend that’s in the brewing space running a small local brewery and can’t do non alcoholic as it is too capital intensive at his scale. But his customers want options. Meaning there is a decent mo

Both A and B are true. But that doesn't preclude them from still charging a heavy premium over other providers in the market. Which is exactly what is happening, the raw COGS of operating a provider are dramatically lower than the pr
