Why should a small company use the cloud for everything instead of a dedicated server or VPS?
Most small companies aren't going to benefit from the elasticity that the cloud provides. The administrative overhead will be similar on each except in the case of the cloud you need to worry about the persistence of data either via EBS, replication or having an acceptable loss level.
- fragsworth 13y agoI would think remote dedicated servers and VPS services fall under the definition of "cloud"? The question is whether or not you're paying up-front for hardware, and managing it locally somewhere. If you lease a $10/month VPS, you're using cloud services.
