Why AWS, Google Cloud and Azure charge so much for data transfer out — the economics of data gravity, what regulators have done about it, and how to cut your egress bill.

The cheapest S3-compatible object storage by price per GB and per TB — Backblaze B2, Wasabi, Cloudflare R2 and the hyperscalers compared, including the egress catch that changes the ranking.

The cheapest small cloud VMs by price and by specs — Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, AWS Lightsail, Azure and Google Cloud's free tier compared on RAM, vCPU and $/month.

Backblaze B2, Wasabi and AWS S3 compared on price per GB, egress, request fees and the fine print — minimums, storage duration and free egress — to find the cheapest for your workload.

A step-by-step guide to estimating AWS data-transfer costs — internet egress, cross-region and inter-AZ transfer — with the rates, a worked example and ways to cut the bill.
