About

Metered Sky is an independent information site that explains how cloud hosting is priced and how to choose, set up and move between providers. It is written for small and growing U.S. businesses, office managers and non-specialist IT leads who need to make a hosting decision without a degree in cloud architecture.

The guides cover what appears on a typical bill, how provider categories differ, how to plan a migration and how to set up basic security, backups and cost alerts. The tools page offers simple calculators and a checklist that use illustrative numbers you can replace with your own.

What this site does not do: it does not sell hosting, rank individual companies or publish current price lists, because prices change often and we cannot verify them in real time. Where we give example figures, we say so. Nothing here is legal, tax, security or financial advice. For regulated data or large commitments, speak with a qualified professional and read the provider's own terms.
