<p>I've hosted something on the free tier of Now.sh but it often gets frozen due to periods of not being used.</p>
<p>Anyone know of a good, super cheap cloud host I can stick a side project on?</p>
<p>I've already used my AWS trial so not that.</p>
<hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>MarkkuIT: <pre><p>Maybe DigitalOcean? As low as $5/month. </p></pre>RevMen: <pre><p>Or Vultr at 2.50</p></pre>usernameliteral: <pre><p>Beware, the $2.5 plan is "sold out" in most locations and have been so for a long time.</p></pre>yami_odymel: <pre><p>You could just select another location</p></pre>bustyLaserCannon: <pre><p>Is it any different to Heroku?</p></pre>very-little-gravitas: <pre><p>It's more like AWS, not heroku - you get a server (vps) with just the os, then install what you want, performance and reliability is good and it's cheap. You control the processes so no issues with long startup times if unused. Search for a referral link and you can try it for free for a few months. </p></pre>bustyLaserCannon: <pre><p>Sweet - thanks very much. I'll try Digital Ocean.</p></pre>megromby: <pre><p>Linode is also an excellent choice —
<a href="https://www.linode.com/linodes" rel="nofollow">https://www.linode.com/linodes</a> — and also has a $5/month server — <a href="https://www.linode.com/pricing" rel="nofollow">https://www.linode.com/pricing</a>.</p></pre>Ribice: <pre><p>There's also Hetzner that offers more ram for half the price. I've been using it for years. The downside is that website and panel is archaic, but once you get ssh access you don't use the panel anyway.</p></pre>GentooMonk: <pre><p>I second that.</p></pre>kaeshiwaza: <pre><p>scaleway in Europe ?</p></pre>M1hkel: <pre><p>+1 and it's cheaper</p></pre>tv64738: <pre><p>Side project -> assuming small, at least to start.</p>
<p>The smallest tier of Google Compute, f1-micro, ends up being free CPU, and I'm paying under $0.50/month for traffic on one little project of mine.</p>
<p>The limitation with f1-micro is you can't burn 100% cpu all day long, you only get bursts of CPU time. That works out fine for serving a small website.</p></pre>bustyLaserCannon: <pre><p>That means it'll have similar implications with now right? I.e. if it hasn't been used in a while it'll need start up time?</p></pre>tv64738: <pre><p>No, it'll be always on. The limit is if you burn a lot of cpu in a spike, it'll get throttled to very very slow. If you get some hits randomly throughout the day it'll be 100% fine.</p></pre>bustyLaserCannon: <pre><p>Cool, I'll give that a try too </p></pre>eatnut: <pre><p>google app engine?</p></pre>1Gijs: <pre><p>Maybe host on aws lambda, using <a href="https://github.com/eawsy/aws-lambda-go-net/blob/master/README.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/eawsy/aws-lambda-go-net/blob/master/README.md</a></p>
<p>lambda has 1 million free requests per month for everybody. So if its really a small side project then this should be enough :-)</p>
<p>I use it to test an upcoming mvp. So if it catches on then i am also sure it can scale enough ;-)</p></pre>lluad: <pre><p>I'm using hostus.us for several things. $10/3 months for a solid Linux VPS with a single IPv4 address and multiple IPv6. Two gigs of RAM, I think and plenty disk and CPU for a go server.</p>
<p>They often advertise deals on the low-end hosting forums, and they seem to stay valid forever. Look for one of those.</p></pre>jrwren: <pre><p>google clould platform has a free tier. </p></pre>das_j: <pre><p>If you don't mind a shady hoster... Cloud at cost? </p></pre>SpokenSpruce: <pre><p>They're slow and terrible, and that is if you even get the server online. Would not recommend it to my worst enemy. Scaleway seems to have a decent reputation to go along with their extremely competitive prices.</p></pre>lluad: <pre><p>+1. They're not so much shady as outright fraud. And I wouldn't describe them as flaky so much as entirely non-functional technically. Avoid, seriously.</p></pre>
