The Chinese servers supporting my smart toilet app have plugin, developer, indexing extensions that have dependencies connected to databases managed by frameworks that once ran Java!                     We're fucked!

Technology & Information / What's it like in the Cloud?

« on: December 15, 2021, 01:32:39 PM »

Ok, so Suckgator has pissed me off big time again and I'm thinking it may be time to leave the old school webhost-server model and move my entire web presence to the cloud.

Who's doing what in the cloud? Does it suck more? is it more expensive?

The cool thing about a cloud service is that I could spin up cool servers. I would have root privileges to install cool software. I could close off thousands of unused ports that the Russians are pounding on night and day. I could back it all up in a massive image.

The uncool thing is that it is still expensive per gig and I'm handling about 160 Gb. I don't use a lot of bandwidth so I could go cheap on that angle of it.

Also, I need DV certs for the actual websites and I'm guessing that I may be on my own dealing with some CA to get them instead of a host providing them.

Anybody running webservers from a cloud service?

What if cyber criminals (nobody on this forum) were using the Tor Network for mischief?
