Currently 4.29 EUR/month VPS on Hetzner. (Although I have some fun features planned and might need some more processing power so I might upgrade in the future.)

They have great AMD-based VMs, 2x perf/$ over Intel. (I've benchmarked.)

How much traffic per month does it cover in this amount?

I want to launch some toy projects and confuses whether go for AWS or vps.

20 TB.

I would definitely recommend going with a VPS over AWS in your case, unless you want to play with AWS-specific tech to build up your resume.

are you also installing the DB within the VPS?

I would be needing a web app connecting with MySQL and a bunch of Crons.

Also, could I host multiple domains?

I am currently using a bunch of AWS technologies, e.g. AWS EBS, RDS etc. I am also thinking to consolidate all projects to a single AWS LightSail, which offers pretty cheap instances, e.g. 512 Mb, 1vCPU, 20Gb SSD for 3.5$/month.

20 TB of outgoing traffic is included with a Hetzner Cloud VPS, any additional TB costs 1,19€. Incoming traffic is free.

what benchmarks do you use? I'm curious how my VPSes compare.

kouteiheikaOP5y ago

It was quite some time ago so I don't remember exactly, but I've basically used one of the usual benchmarks that everyone uses to measure the number of requests per second that a server can sustain.

(I've rented another VPS in the same data center and ran the benchmark from there.)
