[ale] Phew!!!

[Tory Deron]

I’ve been using Ramnode for years.  I pay $10 a month for a hosted KVM VM, 40GB disk space, 2GB RAM, and about 3TB of monthly bandwidth.  I have never had a single issue.  The VM is running Ubuntu server 16.04.  I don’t know if it is the best or cheapest, but it is reliable and fast.
