i can no longer recommend AWS

We all love to hate Amazon, and generally for very good reasons.
However they do have the right to target their services (and pricing) to their preferred audience.
They don't "owe" the little guy anything.
But what is strange (from my perspective) is that they entice lots of little guys in with Free Tier for a year. Then the pricing becomes high, but the little guys haven't thought about this and they feel trapped.
Of course, they're not trapped, but takes a lot long time to realise this. -

what i also found...strage, is that they make you pay more when you need technical support!
thats like going to your friend that knows about cars house, telling him hey, somethings wrong with my car, an he says, o i'll fix it, but uh, you gotta pay me monthly to ix it, something like that.
if i want support, and i'll have to pay for it, i'll consult 1 of my tech friends who can give me the support i need. i have a plan with them, it costs 0dollers a month. -
not from a business perspective - if you cost them more when their make from you, they try to get rid of you. I noticed this often with my clients. If they use the support a lot, they tend to get kicked one way or the other. I have to admit, I had such a customer myself. He ran on a support flatrate, and we got about 3-5 calls every week, while other customers called us maybe once every 3-4 months.
I canceled his contract as well.@RazielKanos hmmmm interesting
