Decide on hosting provider #4

Decide on where we will host. @robot-o wants cheap, eco power, in a country that respects human rights. I'd like API access, load balancers, "easy button", snapshots, ability to upscale from snapshot, in addition.

AWS LightSail meets a lot - we used Canada instance, could be some other country with strong privacy protection and human rights; it's cheap ($10 for 1vCPU, 2GB, 3TB data), it's easy, it has API and load balancers and snapshot. We moved to a larger instance via snapshot in under 15 mins. I'll let @robot-o chime in on whether it's eco enough. Here's one link about it: https://marketrealist.com/2019/08/amazons-renewable-energy-portfolio-is-strengthening/

Alternative suggestions please.
