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. |
I absolutely love AWS. When Covid hit I was helping some of my mainstream customer move their on-prem servers to the cloud which I mentioned previously. Some were on Microsoft Azure and some were on AWS, and both were flawless. I like Azure for security, but AWS seems to have more resources. There interfaces are similar too but AWS was easier to use overall.

If you migrate your stuff properly, you shouldn't be down for even a milisecond. Where some people make mistakes here is by not planning properly. Planning properly saves time later.

Managed hosting solutions are ideal for many businesses, but not for all.
When you opt for a managed hosting solution, you often pay a premium for the service, even though it might be used infrequently and isn't dedicated solely to your projects and business. For many small businesses, this arrangement works well.
However, as a business grows, there may come a time when you need a dedicated manager familiar with every aspect of your system. Managed hosting providers typically can't offer this level of personalized service. Therefore, it becomes logical to consider hiring an in-house IT specialist to oversee operations. At this juncture, the value proposition of managed hosting diminishes, and unmanaged cloud-based services like AWS begin to appear more attractive.
Besides the usual money saves such as Pay-as-you-go pricing and no overhead for management services, services like AWS excel at scalability, competition & innovation, and global reach. Need to deploy a server in some country? Need to add redundancy? Click-click-click and done. Love it.
