First of all, thanks to Thomas for mentioning our AWS hosting offer. > > http://www.inspirel.com/aws-hosting/ >=20 > From what I understand, with this solution I would not have to set up the= Ada+AWS system by myself. I would be able to start using AWS right away. Right. The software is already installed and we recognize that you might ne= ed to install more of it. > But, isn't this inspirel a bit too costly (200 euros yearly), as compared= to other providers? There are no other providers that offer AWS hosting. ;-) The problem with AWS is that it is basically a natively compiled and long-r= unning service and this is what makes it different from typical web hosting= offers, which assume rarely executed scripts (PHP, Python, etc.). For this= to happen the user gets not only a drive space, but also a regular shell a= ccount so that he can actually compile his server in the same environment w= here it will be executed. That's why we expect small number of users per ma= chine, which makes cost considerations different than with PHP, where on a = single machine you could put tens or even hundreds of users and give them r= ights only to upload their scrpts. In other words, the AWS hosting offer is conceptually much closer to dedica= ted server offers and this is where the pricing should be compared. > Is this the only provider that offers Ada+AWS pre-installed? I googled bu= t did not find any other. --=20 Maciej Sobczak * http://www.inspirel.com
