  > But your whole argument was that for some serious application you shouldn't trust on cloud services, wasn't it? Well, with everything, there are pros and cons. My argument is that I think it's silly to trust someone else with your infrastructure. There can be benefits to doing so, however, your giving up a lot as well. And in terms of cost (which is usually the main argument that I hear), I've personally never seen it work. Your trusting someone with something pretty critical with your business, so you should think long and hard about which direction you want to go. If your cloud-service gets arbitrarily shut down or has an outage, what responses can you take to fix it? Usually not many. Thats essentially adding a SPoF, which is generally considered a big no-no, although it does happen. > The kind of things I was doing half a year ago you couldn't run on your home connection. I'd be curious as to what your doing then. > just a signal that you're not doing anything great. I guess that depends on what you mean as great. I do a lot of useful stuff: email, web-apps, file-store, home-automation, etc.
