I try to avoid Amazon in general, but what kind of options are there?
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You mean other hosting options? Digital Ocean is a good option, probably similar in price but without the managed database (unless they've added that). There's also Azure, but I don't know what their pricing is. Probably not too different. Google has cloud services as well.

Pretty much everyone uses Amazon Web Services every day even if they aren't aware of it.

Yeah, that's what I mean -- is there any avoiding it? If the answer is no, that's fine.

Digital Ocean does have managed databases now. Looks like it would be about $20 a month for webserver and database.

Vultr doesn't have a managed database, but an instance big enough for both webserver and database might be possible at $10/mo.

Azure doesn't look practical for small deployments.

The status is NOT quo.
Thank you for all of this, Gud. Let us know if we can donate via Jesse to help.

We pay like $35/month now, I think, so whatever!

Then, I'm thinking Digital Ocean. I think it will be easier to deal with than AWS, especially since you can pay by just banking money in your DO account via paypal.
