Moved hosting from Azure web apps to Linux on Hetzner with Cloudflare edge caching and cut the monthly cost dramatically.

Finds Contabo good value and flexible for both site and email hosting.

The cheapest Hetzner plan runs four websites, a bot and a proxy and is still overpowered.

A 2 vCPU, 2.5 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD, 3 TB a month plan for 20 dollars a year is great value.
