> AWS isn't perfect but at least you have half a chance of working out what is costing you money through the billing console.
The first few times I used AWS for tutorials, something similar happened to me. I thought I shut everything down, but kept getting billed and wasn't able to find it without contacting them. It was just a few dollars, but I've been wary about any services where you can't cap the billing.
Cloud platforms generally don't let users cap the billing, because those overages are good income for them. I prefer using services like DigitalOcean or Linode where you can be sure that your new site crashes for 15 minutes instead of bankrupting you.
