justifying hosting costs for hobby sites
andreshb: To get at least a resume-building prototype going I don't see why you would need to pay $100/mo in hosting.Now, if you begin to grow such traffic that you need to shell out $100/mo in hosting, then maybe you have something interesting going that you can probably find a way to make some revenue from it (or at least $100/mo)There is always the option of using S3 or App Engine, but it really depends on your app. So, if your goal is Resume Building, at least start with cheaper hosting and build a prototype.I use a VPS that costs me $49/mo and I use that for hosting any prototypes or early projects.
