Bought new hosting on black friday - A2 hosting for 3 years in a decent deal of 180$ for 3 years, was on siteground before - both are good, but siteground renewal would hit me 500$ for 3 yrs unless I take a new account etc - which is a pain http://www.a2hosting.com/refer/248882 https://www.siteground.com/recommended?referrer_id=7560802 Both are recommended by Pardeep goyal (blogger that I learn from) and these are better than the usual bluehost/godaddy that have a lot of issues (yeah above links are referral links - but only sharing after using for years now)

These are just normal servers, right? What is the configuration for them?

normal hosting man, just have a few blogs to host - no complex websites

Isn’t AWS cheaper by default then? I think LightSail is like $3/mo?
