So how would you charge for servers?
- worksonmine 4y agoOffer prepaid credits, that of course doesn't allow for huge surprise bills so it's not that common.
- bharathyes 4y agoand suspend services in case of sudden traffic? many companies would not like that
- foepys 4y agoFor personal accounts prepaid would make cloud offerings a lot easier and more predictable. I personally don't use any "traditional" cloud services like AWS, GCP, because of the uncertainty of costs of anything going haywire while I'm at work or on vacation.
- worksonmine 4y ago> many companies would not like that And many companies come here when they get a surprise bill after a buggy push. Not having a spend limit is more often than not a complaint. Notice I wrote "offer" not "switch to". They don't have to be mutually exclusive and big corporations could still get limitless spending if they want. I prefer when making mistakes is difficult.
- detaro 4y agoIf they don't like that, they don't have to enable spending limits.
