It has much higher upfront costs than the other options and there are some risks but it offers considerable power at much lower monthly costs. Ordinary VPS hosts may be more cost effective, though, for SaaS ventures that don't need AWS EC2-level features.Ĥ. AWS EC2 is arguably the best solution, at least initially, for ventures that can afford it. Ordinary VPS hosts: Some ordinary VPS hosts provide higher power at lower cost than AWS EC2. However, AWS EC2 is a known quantity, potential clients are familiar with the brand, it offers solid Debian systems that are compatible with standard procedures, generally good uptime, built-in security, backups are easy, and it's easy to upgrade or downgrade hardware. And the business model comes across as "nickle and dime them". The framework is a bit complex for admins who are accustomed to ordinary VPS hosts. There are irritating issues such as the shutdown of instances without notice this can lead to the loss of data. AWS EC2: This option offers lackluster performance compared to some of the ordinary VPS hosts out there.
#Minetest server hosting how to
I showed the venture how to do this and may write about it here.Ģ. However, it's easy to duplicate this functionality on any Debian-based host.
#Minetest server hosting update
Just push to a GitHub repo and the latest update is up and running on the Web. Note: The venture liked the simplicity of deployment under Heroku. There is no root access, lock-in to Heroku APIs can be an issue, and Heroku made a change a while back that slowed down some applications quite a bit. Production tiers charge for everything, including individual processes and access to PostgreSQL this is an eyebrow raiser. Heroku operates on a "nickle and dime them" basis more so than AWS EC2. It may be a poor choice for SaaS of other types. Heroku: Heroku is good for applications that are designed specifically for its framework. I looked at AWS EC2 again and at other possibilities. Recently, though, I was asked to evaluate hosting options for a venture that was developing SaaS. This worked out well and I shut down my AWS EC2 instances. So I moved my Minetest worlds to a colocated server that I owned. Note: I don't presently have a business model for Minetest though some are under consideration. The AWS EC2 free (Micro) tier wasn't up to the task and higher tiers proved to be too expensive for the hosting of a free service. I've used AWS EC2 to host Minetest worlds previously.
