Let's hope this gets higher and higher and the cloud provider drop their prices so they are actually competitive instead of 10-1000x higher.

(t4g.2xlarge is pretty naft and on demand, that costs me $200/mo without any extras; I can get a dedi with similar (but better) specs, more diskspace, free backups etc for $33/mo ; until that's at least equal for that instance, it's still worse, but then I would possibly consider it)
