Ask HN: Why do $5 VPS offerings still have the same specs as 10 years ago? 2012: Digital Ocean (or equivalent) offered VPS's with 1gb RAM and 20gb disk for $5 2020: $5 still gets you at most 1 vCPU, 1gb RAM, and 20-50gb SSD. Why is there no price innovation happening? Cloud offerings seem to be static, despite cost reductions and other progress. |
