Linode has object storage. This may or may not be something you're looking
for.
" Linode Object Storage costs a flat rate of $5 a month, and includes 250
gigabytes of storage."
Whatever cloud platform you use, watch for transfer limits and charges.
FYI - I have a small Linode instance (1 CPU
Tomas:
I agree with using the image. However, you need to be careful with flipping
from biggie instance to tiny instance. The tiny instance will have smaller
disk space. I think the safest thing to do is to start with a tiny
instance. then flip to biggie but don't increase the disk space usage.
You delete the linode after you save/backup its disk image.
When you need it - you create/restore the vm from the stored image/backup.
That is the way to go about it.
Another alternative is to use powerful vm instance when needed, change it
to the cheapest one when not in use.

On Fri,
How do you define 'not running'? With linode, if you power down the node
but not delete it, it is still be charged.

I am also on Linode. But I have friends on AWS. Sure, the AWS mainline
dashboard is confusing, however everyone I know use the Lightsail series of
VPS nodes. They apparently are far easier to provision and understand.

what has your experience with AWS been? for me, the initial setup is rather
confusing, but after that I just ssh in like normal. and stopping/starting
an instance is fairly painless, and they only charge you for storage while
it's off.
