They aren't brilliant. They talk shit about cloud hosting like AWS (like the article Brad wrote in Xbiz). It's because they are mad that they didn't do that or keep up with it. Sad.
Our newest project is already built and will launch soon from AWS. And the reason it will ultimately cost more is because they don't fuck around. And yes we want to scale. In Brad's article, he says "Small sites" don't need AWS. Yeah ok, who is building a site to NOT scale??
It's not crazy, he's obviously trying to get people to not advance and go with higher-tech players:
https://www.xbiz.com/features/275931...-hosting-costs but come on, really your going to talk shit about AWS? Lol. This whole article he wrote is meant to SCARE people and companies from moving to AWS. But if you set it up correctly, which we are because we have a dedicated DevOps team, then you will not be overcharged.
Small sites SHOULD use AWS, it's actually even better, you might pay a tiny bit extra, but so what, then you don't have to migrate entire bare metal server setups. You're in a position to scale.
Actively discouraging people from going with superior technology and actively pushing inferior setups is not responsible and it's dangerous.
Do you know we've had to move/upgrade server setups like FOUR times with them? Yeah, that doesn't happen on a proper cloud setup like AWS offers.
The reason we picked AWS is because they are on the bleeding edge of what you can do basically. Of course, the caveat is you have to set it up right or hire someone who knows, a good DevOps engineer.
MojoHost is behind. Anyone who argues this clearly has no clue wtf they are talking about.
We will soon move everything over to AWS.
