Comment Comment by stephenr I still don’t understand this industry’s obsession with predefined fixed limits on unrelated resources.Just because I want lots of RAM, why do I necessarily need lots of disk and/or lots of transfer?Or vice versa, why do I need to pay for lots of tranfer and RAM to get lots of disk?I get that AWS has separate billing for data, but they still tie CPU, RAM and Disk space together, as do most “traditional” VPS hosts.And even more confusing to me, is why anyone with any sense would pay for these things? parent stephenr 13 years ago

Or vice versa, why do I need to pay for lots of tranfer and RAM to get lots of disk?
