Brief

Usage-based billing has 'quietly eaten the margins' of side-project AI builders, the author asserts (2026-06-17). Erick (@ErickSky) responds by pitching Hostinger Node.js Hosting as a fix: flat-rate pricing, one-click GitHub deployment, custom domain included, and a 10% discount with code XNODE10 to get apps live in minutes.

Source evidence

Usage-based billing has quietly eaten the margins of every AI builder who ever shipped a side project.

Hostinger Node.js Hosting skips that model entirely. Flat rate, one-click GitHub deployment, custom domain included.

Code XNODE10 gets you 10% off at hostinger.com/web-apps-hosti….

It's wild how vibe-coding an app with AI is easier than shipping it.

@Hostinger makes it live in one click + 10% off just dropped.
