How Much Does Cloud Server Hosting Cost?

Cloud computing is great. If you need more HD, CPU or memory, with a few clicks you can adjust your server to handle the demand. All this while spending little or almost nothing upfront. And when the storm passes, you can scale down the CPU, memory or disks to save a lot. That said, few companies are willing to tie up a large amount of capital in purchasing equipment, dedicated Internet links, disk RAID or even a good UPS with backup generator. Simply because it makes perfect sense to host everything you need in a professional datacenter and pay for hours of resource usage.

Ok, you convinced your boss to move to the cloud, but how much does it cost?

To answer this question, you can create your entire computing structure in an Amazon calculator. There you can specify how many servers you need, CPU, memory, disks, database services, load balancing services and a myriad of other things. With this calculator it's easy to calculate your costs. But if you need help understanding how the calculator works, take a look at our Cloud Computing course.
