- uggedal 18y agoThe difference is $12 for a 256MB slice. What if you start to grow and need 5 1GB slices? That is a $250/month difference.
- vaksel 18y agoas your traffic grows, so should your revenue.
- medianama 18y agoI've observed hosting costs to grow faster than revenue :-(
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoYou may be in the wrong business :)
- lsc 18y agoreally? i think with today's hardware/bandwidth prices, it's perfectly reasonable to setup a fairly busy site and not worry about revenue at all. If it only sets you back a few dollars a month, it might make sense for you to build something popular for the experience and the social capital.
- jm4 18y agoIt might only be $12 but it's also a 150% increase. I think when you're comparing apples and apples (as in two products that have roughly the same features-- not a Rolls Royce and moped even though they share a basic function) there are going to be very few situations where a 150% increase is justified.
- patio11 18y agoI'm on Slicehost, with about a $100 a month bill. Given my technology needs, that is overpaying -- both for the number of servers I bought (I could consolidate to save) and the price per server. And I just couldn't care less. That's like one night's worth of sales. I've (hopefully) got better things to do with my time than spending it preparing for a migration and inevitable breakage in the interests of saving myself an hour's salary a month.
- davidw 18y agoHow are you measuring quality? I can think of: * Memory * CPU * Storage * Bandwidth * Service - which is hard to measure, but also a very important metric.
