I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but when I looked at pricing amazon was cheaper period. Not cheaper if you do X and Y and Z, just cheaper always no matter what. Rackspace was insanely expensive in comparison.
- unoti 14y agoI just started a stopwatch, and decided to try to figure out what you're talking about. After working on an online price calculator with more fields on it than a 1040EZ tax form, and then getting 2/3 of the way through a whitepaper PDF on how pricing works, and trying to figure out what kind of instances I'd need, I stopped at the 10 minute mark. I'm going to go resume work on my software now, but I expect I'm not alone in this. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, and there's an easier way to do this. And I'm certain that if I spent $10k a year on servers, I'd take this more seriously.
- papsosouid 14y agoThat just seems like a poor attempt at trolling. "I have to figure out what server I need" is a problem with amazon? I just double checked, and the process is literally identical between amazon and rackspace: 1. pick an instance 2. see the hourly price 3. multiply it by 24 x 30 Which part of this is a problem, and why is it only a problem for you with amazon?
