Looking to host a personal website. A couple static pages and an instance of FoundryVTT. Maybe a wiki. Single digit users for the foreseeable future.

    That sounds like a great deal. What does being careful entail here? DDoS protection?

      It's "pay as you go", so you have to be careful to stay within the free tier or else you will get charged.

      Mainly just try to avoid creating extra instances, or adding too much storage.

        I’d much rather have downtime and be throttled if I go over my allotments than autoscale and pay more than I expect tbh. I’m pretty scared of that because money’s tight. Maybe I just need a flat rate VPS. I can handle like $10/mo but a surprise $70 bill could be a real pain.

          IIRC you can setup the always free tier without a credit card, but if it requires one, setup a privacy.com temporary card and delete it after you create the account
