- For Minecraft it charges per gigabyte, so growing gets expensive: 16 GB comes to $47.
- Their 30% discount is already baked into the advertised price, so watch out when comparing.
Verdict
A good option to start with a small server. It gets expensive as soon as you need RAM, because every gigabyte is charged.
