Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Hey. New board.

Go digital ocean! They are a cool company and I've been very happy with them.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm fine with paying a little more to avoid Amazon where possible.
