I'd very much like to own my own space on the web. Particulary to run core things that really matter to me like device-sync, backup, basic sharing etc. I'm sure I could set something up using EC2/S3 but I don't want the hassle of maintenance (or to reinvent the wheel).
Edit: I'm kind of asking for an app-store-for-the-cloud but with a place that I own into which I 'install' the apps.

- runn1ng 14y agoI am using cheap VPS for that, with debian (so it even has "apps" in aptitude :)) I cannot recommend it highly enough... it's great for doing quick perl experiments and even coding from phone/tablet through power of vi and screen, it's great for hosting personal projects that almost noone will visit what I miss the most on my cheap vps is the ability to run java virtual machine, since it has smallish memory and is on openvz (so no swapping)
- japhyr 14y agoWhat VPS are you using? Is "cheap VPS" ~$20/month?
- slig 14y agoSee http://www.lowendbox.com/ http://www.lowendbox.com/ for < $10/m.
- Kerrick 14y agoLook around, you'll find them. I found a Minecraft server host that actually gives me root access to a VPS with MC preinstalled. I disabled MC and now have a VPS with which to do what I please. I don't know if it's the best deal out there because I haven't looked in a while, but the host I'm on is http://redstonehost.com/ http://redstonehost.com/ if you're curious.
- runn1ng 14y agoI am in Czech Republic, so it will probably be no use to you I pay the equivalent of 7.39 USD/month http://www.bezobav.cz/vps-virtualni-server.html http://www.bezobav.cz/vps-virtualni-server.html
