You can spend less than that $300 until you get going if you use GoogleAppEngine, where you'd only end up paying if you get higher levels of usage.
Rackspace cloud will cost $10 a month for the basic server if you need to not use java/python, as it sounds like you might need to. You theoretically can do Ruby on GAE via a java implementation, and php I think...
If you need web design, you're going to be a little short there likely to get it done, but you may be able to learn enough to get going there.
- lachyg 16y agoFor a design / template start out by using something off ThemeForest.net, then once you're making some money, hire someone to redesign it!
- mshafrir 16y agoSecond this, GAE is the default platform for almost all of my side projects because of how quickly you get up and running, and due to the generous limits.
- johnnytee 16y agoI use GAE as well for all my side projects. I recommend a service such as spreedly or recurly for billing.I've used PayPal subscriptions and 2checkout in the past but they suck. For design I recommend the minimalist approach such as letter.ly until you can hire a designer.
- neiled 16y agoJust to also mention heroku is free too until you use 5MB of database size, which is great for getting it out there, and depending on your type of site 5MB might get you quite a way.
- gte910h 16y agoAre there other services like this for php or more python ones? I'd though GAE was really the only one in its type.
