discuss: linode.com: https://manager.linode.com/signup/#plans - 1GB RAM, 32GB disk, 400GB bandwidth -- *$40/mon*
appengine: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html#Billable_Quota_Unit_Cost - 1GB RAM ($460.80), 32GB disk ($7.68), 400GB bandwidth ($48) -- *$516.48/mon *(12.9x) (under announced storage chg to $0.24/GB/mon) usual arguments: - "appengine gives you free quota" -- this only applies to tiny apps. - "appengine bills only for what you use" -- but few paid apps use <10% of their quotas. - "appengine scales" -- is it really that hard to scale clusters of VPSs? - "appengine is more reliable" -- actually, VPS is pretty darn reliable in practice, and it's trivial to setup failover and clone VPS instances for disaster recovery. what am I missing? adam (ex-googler and huge fan of both appengine and linode) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
