We no longer rely on managed shared virtual hosts as application servers. Consider: Setting up your own server:
- Pay for the Mac Mini + Time Capsule
- Set up Amazon account with credit card
- Sign up for AWS/S3 service, with auto-billing
- Configured with Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5
- Place behind your firewall on DSL connection, enabling TCP on port 80
- Set your domain's DNS records to point to Mini Capabilities
- Box handles 500-1,000 visitors per hour (no monthly cost)
- Backup Drive automatically backs up all content hourly, saving older versions for disaster recovery
- S3 stores all heavy content for distribution; handles HTTP serving of content to unlimited clients simultaneously at up to 500 KBytes/second (delivery of 100GB content costs less than $20/mo) |
