Hi there! :)

I think one thing is to be using secure services while still maintaining a fast server, lots of interface mapping services and internet information services.

Hi

Thank you for replies.

David

Another very complete reply! still studying it.

By this

1) Use solid provisioning (not hosting) from a company like OVH.
An dedicated host, ok?
Is OVH Cloud a superior solution to use when compared with AWS f.e.? If so, on what aspects.
You asked, "Any dedicated host ok?"

I've used many hosting + provisioning companies, start in 1994.

OVH towers over other companies for many reasons.

1) Flat rate $3/IP setup with no monthly per IP charge.

2) Unlimited bandwidth.

3) Built in dashboard recovery system, which is worth it's weight in gold. Most companies require opening a support ticket to connect a terminal server. With OVH, the recovery boot + real boot is built in dashboard.

4) Reverse DNS PTR record management. With most companies, same as #3, a ticket is required... then some long period of time... before PTR records are working. With OVH, you can allocate a new block of IPs, they show up in a few minutes, then you can set PTR records instantly, so you can have working PTR IP blocks in minutes rather than days.

5) Best of all. OVH products are normally faster iron (hardware) + cheaper (by far) of any other comparable company.

6) OVH now also provides mass disk storage servers, so running online RAID systems (with many Terrabytes of data) is dirt cheap + can be running in a few minutes after an order is input.

Geez... OVH should pay me for marketing them... :)
OVH compared with AWS.

1) No comparison.

2) OVH is much cheaper.

3) With OVH you never get surprise bills. With AWS $10K+ surprise bills are common, as AWS charges for everything... upload bandwidth... download bandwidth... per object access...

The worst source of surprise bills generally come from per object access, where some... marginally intelligent developer unfamiliar with AWS billing writes some code... that works... then the code is deployed with 1000s of users, which generates some per object access pattern producing the dreaded $10K+ surprise bill.

Note: You can search EE for AWS surprise bills for conversations about this sad tale.

Tip: Cloud... the term is meaningless. Servers are servers. Hardware is hardware.

My tendency is to avoid any service mentioning the word Cloud because this is generally code for - slower + more expensive than just using a dedicated server.

I just say
An dedicated host, ok?

Any dedicated host, ok?

Thank you for so complete reply!
You're welcome!

Good luck!
