This is a bad poll because there isn't even distribution here. By definition there are more small companies then large ones which by definition will use month-to-month dynamic hosting options.
Most every startup will start in the cloud and some will move to dedicated machines later when it makes economic sense and if the team deems the additional headaches worth it.
- billpatrianakos 15y agoI wanted to know what real developers were using. Obviously big companies are using their own hardware but I'm interested specifically on the usage of developers similar to me. I expected more votes for SaaS than VPS/dedicated to be honest.
- taa 15y agoI actually found the comments informative to gain better insight as to why people use different setups. I had assumed that same as what you said, which turned out to be less often true than I thought.
- dangrossman 15y ago> Most every startup will start in the cloud And yet the poll does not bear that out. The real cost of starting in "the cloud" is often very high -- 3x the cost of a VPS or more -- and you can handle an awful lot of traffic on a 512MB VPS.
