I pay NameCheap for a domain name. They've been fine but I might switch for the sake of variety next time.

My main VPSes are through Oracle's free program and don't cost a dime. Rarely I'll pay for a spot instance and get it through them or AWS.

That's it, I think. I pay more for a license of Bitwig than I do cumulatively on development subscriptions.
