    A question for anyone who's had to deal with web hosting: if I want a small site for personal use (so nothing too huge), is a service that gives me around 300k estimated page views per month worth ~$30 for a year?

      @redenchilada If all you actually want is the webhosting part, that's probably fine. Who's the provider?

      @redenchilada That said if you have an amazon account you get a year on their free tier, which nets you 160gb of transfer a month, which is probably enough for a small project.

        @ceruleanspark That's what @welcomepony was running on, right?

          @nerthos SBN ran on it until they moved to their current spot by @twitch's feet.

            @redenchilada Then yes. They both ran on the same server.

        @ceruleanspark I'll look into that, then.

          @redenchilada If you don't like that, there's also PremiumVM and DigitalOcean. They're more performant, but cost slightly more than your quoted price.

            @ceruleanspark Well, $30 for a year is by no means my limit. I just don't want to spend more and get less. I'll look into those then, thanks.

              @redenchilada I really like DigitalOcean, and nothing beats having your own real server. Shared hosting is for suckers.

                @ceruleanspark It certainly looks like a good deal.

            @ceruleanspark I spent a day setting up and then molesting a 3 part SQL cluster on DigitalOceans hardware and it cost me all of 20 cents to keep 3 servers unning for a day.
