Should I go for $30 or $60 a year hosting?
$30 is a local company with very lousy specs but would (hopefully) be good enough for a basic website.
$60 is DigitalOcean's cheapest droplet with far better value when comparing the specs offered.

Basically what it comes down to is should I prepare for the future by paying twice as much?

    DigitalOcean (I say sitting in my DO sponsor merch) remember to use code DROPLET10 for a 10$ to start with 👌

    If it's really some basic hosting I'd put it on aws honestly

    Scaleway offers the best value for money for small machines. You get twice the power you would get on DO, for cheaper, and quadruple the power for just a tad bit more than Vultr.

    Go check out the listings in https://lowendbox.com. many of the data center are in europe so you might get a low lag.

    You can get the specs of smallest drop let from digital ocean at the price of as low as $5 a year. Yes A YEAR. Sure it may be OpenVZ. KVM ones are a bit over $10 a year or more. Depends on the specs.

    And if it's a static website, go for Github pages or Gitlab pages. With custom domains. It's free

    @gruff I second that! I had some contact with their support too, and that was great.
    (It was about making a script locally or use their tool to deploy a MkDocs thingy, for those wondering)

    Can I just ask out of curiosity? Is the $60 minimum due to your requirements? You might already know this, but they do have much cheaper droplets, depending on your requirements :)
