You know, this is something that could be built as a "serverless" app for almost no cost using AWS services like SES, S3, Lambda, and DynamoDB. I'm sure that the VPS doesn't cost much, but it's a cost whether anyone is visiting the site or not.

Edit: Didn't mean to sound negative, so I hope it doesn't come across that way. Good job on building something! I've been struggling with that myself and these types of posts motivate me to just build something.

Possibly yes; but I'm really not familiar at all with Amazon's multiple services. I wanted to be up and running as fast as possible. Day job is old school ASP.NET WebForms stuff so I was already familiar with .Net tooling.

The VPS cost 5$ per month. If this gets some traffic, I might put some ads on it or use the same VPS for other things.
