That was then.
Now VPS providers are significantly increasing prices (Due to memory shortage) making it unaffordable to run servers cheaply.

Servers, and memory, are orders of magnitude cheaper today than they were decades ago... for memory see: https://dam.stanford.edu/memory-prices.html
Yes there's a slight upwards blip right now, but not even close to cancelling decades of progress in price reduction.
They're not more expensive than a decade ago, when we were still using them.
DO Droplets are still $5/mo, as are OVH VPS’es.
