Ask HN: Cheap and Reliable IAAS Provider for a web app?
If you had an on-line product/web app to launch, which IAAS provider would you pick, knowing that initially your funds are very limited? You don't want to break the bank but would like to have the option to scale out if necessary without it becoming very expensive with load (I particularly want to stay away from solutions that are free or almost free to start but expensive to scale).
- cbhl 12y agoIf your funds are truly limited (<$100): - design your app in a way that isn't locked to a given IAAS provider so that you can switch if the economics change - go find a special interest group (e.g. local startup incubator) that is eligible for IAAS credits; if you tell people you're doing a startup and you look legit, IAAS providers will trip over each other to give you thousands of dollars of free credits
- yawz 12y agoThanks you. Your last point is very interesting. I'll do some research on that.
