When looking at cloud hosting providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Compute Engine (GCE), Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Aliyon Cloud etc, they come with charges for every bit of service provided. In these providers, each instance (CPU & RAM), Disk, Traffic(Incoming & Outgoing), IP(more than one), DNS are charged separately, hence if you are looking to host a website all these should be taken into consideration. Keeping apart the charges on other resources, the price that will endorse upon the traffic will always come as a surprise as they have much policy for different regions and connection.

Whereas in Providers like DigitalOcean Cloud, Vultr Services etc they provide a package on monthly basis with prepaid billing(safer), thus you will have more control of your bills. But the disadvantage of these services is that they have limited features compared to the first list. Also adding up of space or bandwidth, user’s are forced to choose next bundle rather than increasing them individually. As of now, they offer additional disk in some regions.

Other option would be to choose dedicated cloud resource and build server or environment on them. These are provided by companies like Linode Cloud. Here the resources can be used according to the need or availability of resources. Same is provided by IBM Cloud, OVH Cloud, RackSpace Cloud, M5 Cloud etc but on a larger scale.
