[dba-Tech] Cloud prices are (have) coming down

Hi Gustav:

It all sounds very good. Have you started testing software on Azure yet?

If you want to get away from the big companies, for Cloud hosting, there is also some excellent rates out there. Here is one example:

https://www.digitalocean.com

...and... 

https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing

You can get one TB on SSD drives for $5.00 a month and with a code add another month free. No price increases after the initial month(s) are up...it is just the regular rate and a large number of droplets to choose from...deploy a site in around a minute...or you can rent space by the hour for testing projects.

Hi Jim

There are exact rates. No guessing. And for once, the price cut is not cosmetic but substantial:

Prices charged by Microsoft, Google and Amazon for Cloud services are coming down...by how much...well that is another question.
