It would be very interesting to see how something like this compares to running Wordpress at http://wpengine.com http://wpengine.com

  Well for one there's no MySQL hosting at Heroku. So unless you've got a server somewhere else this is a non-starter.
  • tekacs 15y ago
    Heroku has addons (which are pretty fundamental to the system - even 'custom domains' is an addon, albeit first-party) which provide MySQL - it's even stated in the article...

      For $70 a month, and it's not available to most people. Do your own fact checking.

  wpengine sounds really expensive. $49/month for just 50k pageviews. My $39/month Linode setup handles a million page views with no sweat.

    That is not a very good comparison, linode as you know does not provide the same feature set nor does it have WordPress devs on hand to help.

      No, but you can pay someone $100 to install it for you and more or less forget it afterwards (since even WP version updates are mostly automatic from the admin UI --and even themes can be installed that way now). Or, even better, use a Linode image with WP already installed, boot it and you're in business.

      Even so, $49 a month is a LOT of money for not that much.
