Why?

  • You have full SSH access to your server
  • Creating a server takes a minute
  • You can choose from various places on earth where the server should be located
  • You can make a backup / snapshot of the server in order to delete and later restore it (saves money if you don't need it for a while)
  • You pay per hour, the basis version of DO or MVPS at 3 EUR or 5 $ per month are sufficient for nightscout
  • Loads of documentation on how to install things
