Going with Amazon's own flavor of Linux= on Amazon's own custom-designed ARM servers in the noncoastal regions of t= he USA typically is the cheapest. Please consult a lawyer in the appropria= te jurisdiction about which features of your blog need to consider EU's GPD= R, which might arise if you permit accounts to post replies/comments to you= r blog postings. Likewise for Microsoft Azure except that Qualcomm & Caviu= m makes Azure's ARM servers' processors. Of course, you can choose AMD or = Intel processors too for incrementally higher price, if x86-64 ISA is neede= d; I have not checked whether the ARM-ISA targets emitted by GNAT are 100% = compatible with either Amazon's Graviton ARM processors or whichever mixtur= e of ARM processors Azure have deployed, assuming that you are writing your= blog in Ada instead of using e.g. WordPress. At the URLs below are the various pricings of Amazon EC2 instances and Micr= osoft Azure instances at various geographic regions: EC2: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot/pricing Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/linux
