Less then $1/month if you've got low traffic. I haven't used this, but I have this type of setup for a static site that uses Hugo.

- S3 costs: $0.10/month

- Route53: $0.50/month ($0.50 per hosted zone)

S3 costs could be lower - I have other buckets with stuff that count towards my cost.


Probably the AWS m4 instance type, meant for general purpose workloads (and replaced with the m5 instance type about a year ago).

More info: After messing around with the image levels, the faded text shows as "Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty" (a quote which has been incorrectly attributed to numerous famous figures: https://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/eternal-vigilance-...)

The man in the foreground appears to be George Washington. There's some barely visible text in the space above the cannon ("Pri"; "Lib") but I can't make out the rest (I'd guess something about liberty).


I just tried http://yahoo.com and it gave me a 301 redirect to https://www.yahoo.com. (Same with http://www.yahoo.com).


http://example.com is my go-to.


Yeah, I know - it uses ipify.org and my guess is some sites might use it for tracking, which is a shame. Note that no ads or tracking are used for the site, and I added a page showing uBlock users how to only allow calls to ipify from this domain.

While Google and https://api.ipify.org/ are cool and fast and memorable, this started as a side project to make it easy to copy and display in the tab title as well (plus I found a cheap domain). Thanks for clicking!


Why ipify though? I connected to you. You already have my IP.


Another goal was to keep this super cheap, quick, and familiar, so this uses a static site hosted on S3. Pennies per month, but no server-side power.

I'm not a web dev by trade, so perhaps there's a way to make it work. Maybe using WebRTC with a fallback to ipify for IE. Something to investigate!


Maybe you can create a lambda function and connect to it through api gateway. You can get one million calls free each month.


Update: I've changed the API used from ipify.org to ipapi.co, which plays more nicely with uBlock.


Kayaking works similarly for me. Nothing serious or intense, just a cheap rental in a slow river or bay.


Same option on Android - I'm curious if this is related as well, or if there are separate Google analytics being sent.


Yep, UC Health as in the medical care provider associated with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Press release regarding the breach here:

Side note - I'm a patient of UC Health and hadn't seen this news until now, but I'm also not within the scope of this breach. They've been great medically, but I agree with the post that some follow-up information would be much better.
