Good example of why self hosting is essential to keep costs down when starting a new project @nixCraft, after its proved itself and either generated income or funding, it's only then that scaling up via AWS or any of the others is economical.

@AlanHicksLondon @nixCraft AWS nickles and dimes. 50 cents per DNS zone per month for the first 25? 40 cents per billion queries? $13 for a .com? I regularly sell those for $12 and sometimes a special for $11. Big Cloud is full of hidden costs.
