That's the price you pay for early decentralization, I guess... Before AWS or any other similar service, how were the fees at the beginning of the internet days? I guess we'll have to wait until evolution and competition brings more affordable conditions for DApp developers.
- theamk 7y agoBefore AWS or other similar service, you'd have to use shared hosting with CGI scripts. Here is an ad from 1998 [0]: it says "200 MB storage, 6 GB transfer, CGI access and Own Directory, $13.95/month". The CGIs was not speed daemons, but you could easily sustain 0.5 request/second (~43,000/day). So this is still way way cheaper than DApps.
