Most startups choose AWS for their hosting, where they're paying a ~10x premium over dedicated boxes. Budget obviously isn't the deciding factor even for cash-strapped new tech companies, not when we're talking about just 100EUR.
- chetanahuja 13y agoI find AWS pricing rather high (for the actual performance on offer) too. That's why my comparison was with Digital Ocean.
- dangrossman 13y agoCash-strapped startups are not choosing DigitalOcean, they're choosing AWS. That's their point of comparison. Your assertion was that 100EUR would be a barrier to startups, not just to yourself. http://www.dangrossman.info/2012/09/24/who-hosts-the-y-combinator-startups/ http://www.dangrossman.info/2012/09/24/who-hosts-the-y-combi...
