GoDaddy? No, no, no.
Push it up to a managed PaaS like Heroku. Unless you outsource the scaling and administration tasks, you'll find yourself wasting a lot of time on them,, which as a startup founder you can't afford (you want to focus on development.) If your startup gains any momentum, you'll find yourself having to create a scaling infrastructure from scratch unless you go with a PaaS.
Web applications are about 99% similar to each other. Don't waste time reinventing the wheel when someone else has already done it.
- majesticbeans 13y agoHeroku looks awesome. All I need atm is Linux, and a MySQL datastore. Does Heroku do that?
- Aqueous 13y agoHeroku lets you use ClearDB which is a MySQL clone - 100% compatible with MySQL. As far as the underlying OS goes, it is Linux - but that shouldn't matter to you since your interaction with the servers your application is running on will be limited.
- majesticbeans 13y agoAnd apparently a basic plan starts at $9 just for the datastore + 9.99 for ClearDB? Meaning that it will cost me 18.99 a month from the get go? Is that how it works? I know this sounds silly, but where would I even start if I wanted to move my site over to heroku?
