Is there likely to be support for other clouds in the future? Amazon is great and you're far cheaper than Heroku itself but I'd love to throw this on DigitalOce

- ddollar 11y agoWe're strongly considering other clouds but are focused on AWS for the moment.
- joshmn 11y agoVultr's website looks... interesting. And their control panel is also... interesting. BUT. I've been very impressed by the performance of my nodes. Tops DigitalOcean easily. I don't have any hard numbers (I can provide some if people would like) but with the performance and number of locations they provide it's hard to beat. $50 credits for two months: http://vultr.com/freetrial http://vultr.com/freetrial Vultr also offers a "dedicated cloud" which I think is just dedicated resources — similar to RunAbove (http://www.runabove.com http://www.runabove.com) Whenever I talk about hosting, I seem like I'm affiliated with the providers. I am not :) I am simply a vet, a student, and a product of the hosting space. If anyone has any questions, see my profile and reach out. I love to talk hosting :)
- Veratyr 11y agoI'm also a big fan of Vultr, hence why I mention them :) When I've run tests, they beat DO on every metric on unixbench (for equivalently priced/RAM filled instances [0][1]) and they let you use whichever ISOs/images you want (including fun stuff like BSD), unlike DO. Their SATA storage nodes are really handy too. You didn't post numbers but here are mine: [0] Vultr benchmark: https://gist.github.com/bobobo1618/0972fc51f49d90fb37af https://gist.github.com/bobobo1618/0972fc51f49d90fb37af [1] DigitalOcean benchmark: https://gist.github.com/bobobo1618/81aa3f413b99aaab1f0d https://gist.github.com/bobobo1618/81aa3f413b99aaab1f0d
