- tx 19y agoI disagree with your findings. Sure it's cheap, but hosting companies tend to oversell this virtual boxes to people and performance is not the same, especially when it comes to disk I/O (any kind of I/O) and handling sudden CPU usage spikes. $1,200-$1,600 for a server is not expensive. If you are trying to start up a company and you're an engineer yourself, that money is what? Your half week salary? Or we're talking about running things from a dorm room here? You make very good point about reliability though.
