Folks, which Windows VPS do you use?

Hi Folks,

Before mORMot is FPC and Linux ready, I might need to write and deploy a little app on a public Windows server, so if you use any non-expensive Windows VPS (means you have real experience ) and you think it's OK, would you share your experience here? That'll also benefit others too smile

Re: Folks, which Windows VPS do you use?

mORMot and DWScript servers have the same http.sys kernel mode server, and the same hardware requirement.
See http://www.delphitools.info/2013/11/20/ … w-settled/ for experiments by Eric Grange.

In France here, a Flex Server at 19,99 € per month, with 2GB RAM + 70 GB HDD is perfect for Windows hosting.
See http://express.ikoula.co.uk/flex-server
They offer Windows Server 2012 in the price.
Even the 12,99 € per month, with 1GB RAM and 50 GB HDD is enough for a mORMot server.

In all cases, adding Content Delivery Network support, or a dedicated Linux server for all static content could make sense!

But the IP localisation will be only in Europe...
It may be a problem (high ping) in some countries.
This is where a CDN does make sense, since it would serve static data locally.

Yes, I thought of that... I really can't wait to use mORMot on my Linode Linux VPS!
