@robin where/how were you hosting previously? Fully managed services? I've found moving my work off AWS & Azure, we lowered our costs 95% across the board. Paying trivial amounts for cloud hosting now. We have grandfathered server at Hetzner with big disks and back up to it, otherwise storage is a minor cost for us. We don't use object storage, all block storage. I back personal stuff up to home servers w/big disks at home & I host stuff here, too.
Now just need to play with Ghost more.
