If you're only paying $3-5 on Linode then your level of usage would probably be comfortably at $0 on Vercel.
replyIt could be $0 on Render too, but then there's going to be a 3 minute load time for a landing page to become visible, lol. So if you don't want your server to sleep, you're going to have to pay $20/month.
replyDoes Vercel do the same?
No, I run several small websites on Vercel for free for years, always served static pages very quickly
replyRender offers free static sites that are served via a CDN and load instantly: https://render.com/docs/static-sites
replyMakes sense considering the quality of Vercel's security response and customer communication.
replyLooking at linode, those prices get you an instance with 1Gb of ram and a mediocre CPU. So you are running all of your applications on that?
replyPersonal projects/MVPs/small projects? Absolutely. For what I'm running, there's no reason to need anything beyond that.
replyThe point is, I used to just throw everything up on a PaaS. Heroku/Render, etc. and pay way more than I needed to, even if I had 0 users, lol.
For $3.5, Hetzner gives 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40 GB SSD, and 10 TB of bandwidth.
replyPretty oversold iirc, but then again, that's the same for Linode
replyhow much work should the GP do to migrate if Linode is good enough, to potentially save up to $1.50/month (or spend 50 cents more)?
