I’m deploying a Node.js API with PostgreSQL and a few scheduled jobs. It’s a new project, so I don’t expect much traffic initially, and I’d like to keep hosting costs below $25/month.

I’ve been looking at a few providers, including hostpro.com, but it’s difficult to compare plans based on specifications alone.

For a small production application, what matters most in your experience: consistent CPU performance, RAM, disk speed, or support? I can manage the server myself, so I don’t need a fully managed solution.
