  I am not impressed by Amazon either.  I have an instance given to me
  by a sponsor, and there I have been taken aback by the old Debian
  kernel version this puts me in.

  I rent three root servers with Hetzner.de. That's for large-scale work.
  To run a blog, a 3TB disk 16 Gig ram box from Hetzner is overkill.
  With Hetzner you have the exchange rate risk but the cost structure
  is much simpler.
