If AWS Platinum support is equivalent, then yes, it certainly makes more sense to go with them and save the money. All things being equal, I'm still much more inclined to patronize a business whose company culture is centered around custom

I've been a Rackspace customer (both dedicated hardware and cloud) on and off for the last 8 years. I've tried other providers, but I keep going back to Rackspace for the customer service. It's just worth the money to me to be able to get

When did you launch? Weddings are generally pretty seasonal, so I would guess you'll get a lot more traffic in the next few months. Also, is anybody linking to you?

I'm only on Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family who I don't get to see on a regular basis. I'm not in any way committed to the platform.

FYI - "Click, close your eyes and count to ten" was actually closer to fifty on the first load. I went back and clicked the button again, and it only took about seven seconds. Just thought you should be aware.

My previous company was in the online retail space, and now I'm doing SaaS. The process of getting a physical product from a manufacturer to a customer is just much more involved. It took a minimum of three people just to operate the busine

I've done it both ways (previously with a co-founder, now on my own). They're totally different businesses, though - I couldn't have done the last one without a co-founder.

What kind of monthly revenue are you guys doing now?

by PonyGumbo 15y ago
