What the fuck is this trend of pricing cloud services by the minute? I mean It's fucking great and all that I buy 2 minutes with a sql db but who the fuck actually does that?

After another night working on a server I (strongly) suggest we move our shit to a cloud service. It's cool providing I promise the costs don't rape us blind folded. Seems easy enough, right? Nope it's not.

6 hours later, halfway to becoming a fucking network engineer and I'm more lost than ever.

Seriously can't the fuck AWS and google cloud show a monthly price - even an estimate for generic shit like $x for the average crappy wp blog!

If anyone has some helpful info / experience on the true cost of hosting generic web apps - the retardedly simple app I'm trying to price is:
1 php web application with 150 domains, 3gb mysql db and 30gb ssd.

I gets has 45000 sessions with 250000 page views.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Currently I'm leaning towards deploying a clone sending 250 000 random requests and praying my $300 cloud platform credit will cover the bill.

    Check out Vultr
    https://www.vultr.com

    Ive hosted my shit there and it's been quite good. They even have a REST API you can use to spin up machines or whatnot

    Was gonna say Vultr, currently my project is not yet finished but I'm uing their 2.5$ server to host two docker containers:
    1. Asp.Net WebApi service
    2. MySql (XtraDB version cuz I'll be needing clustering soon to test)

    All that on a 512MB RAM, 1vCPU.

    No matter what you chose, go docker it will save you lots of time setting up and updating.

    By the way Vultr internet connection is amazing, around 30MB/s (or that's what I noticed)

    If you go with google cloud -it will recommend a server size if you are not utilising all the power.

    So I suggest going for 4 core 8gb setup. In a couple of days it will suggest in the list of instances whether you should downgrade or upgrade depending on your utilisation.
