Good morning everyone!
I've been looking at different offers lately and there's something I just don't understand: the difference in bandwidth pricing between typical VPS providers and Public Cloud (OpenStack, CloudStack) providers.
Is it me or the difference in price is huge?
Most VPS providers (including "fake cloud" providers like DigitalOcean and Vultr) include 1, 2, or even 3TB in their basic plans (5-10$/month) and bandwidth overage fee is around 0.02$/GB.
Public Cloud providers do not include any bandwidth and charge 0.10$/GB. The 5-10$ cloud instance plans generally have comparable specs to VPS.
I understand the different pricing for storage, as they probably offer redundant storage and whatnot, but for bandwidth? Why is it so expensive?
At 0.10$/GB, 1TB of bandwidth alone would cost 100$ per month. That's on top of the price of the instance itself of course.
So what you guys think? Am I missing something?
