Ask HN: AWS or Dedicated Server

1 pointsby binalpatelabout 10 years ago
Hi all,<p>I&#x27;d like to hear you all host your websites&#x2F;applications&#x2F;businesses on and why. Is it AWS, or do you use something dedicated from companies like Softlayer&#x2F;OVH&#x2F;etc.<p>I&#x27;m currently researching both to host an application I&#x27;m working on, and would love to hear your thoughts on this.<p>Thanks!

AWS should work fine for you, but I would spend a lot of time up front going through the AWS security blog to make sure your infrastructure is secure. I was bit by this and experienced a hack within 2 hours of starting up my first ec2 instance. I learned quite a bit back then from that.<p>AWS can be very expensive depending on what your application will do.
