[erlang-questions] erlang hosting

[Serge Aleynikov]

I am considering to deploy some online Erlang applications. Can anyone
recommend inexpensive reliable hosting providers for running erlang web
applications?

Thanks.

Serge

OVH has its kimsufi offering which gives you a small dedicated for 15
euros/month. You can run most distros on it, including Arch Linux. I'm
not sure which countries it covers exactly though.

Dreamhost offers VPSes at $15/month, for 300MB RAM, unmetered disk and BW,
adding $5/month for each additional 100MB RAM. 50 GB backup space included.

The OS is Debian. No choice there, but at least a decent OS.

They also have an uptime guarantee, and will reimburse you if you suffer
downtime because of them.

I've been using DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/) recently,
which doesn't charge for bandwidth and has VPS options from $5/month.
Chicago Boss seems quite happy.

You have to reside in France to use OVH's Kimsufi offer, unfortunately.

That's not accurate. I am using Kimsufi a lot and I am residing in Poland

I like using Linode for this sort of thing a lot.

Do you know we have our own VoIP provider called SureVoIP? See

Did you see our API? http://www.surevoip.co.uk/api

You also can try rackspace.com - very reasonable prices. But of course hardware servers are more cost effective.

We can list here all VPS =)

By the way, I prefer http://newservers.com/ if we speak about US,
because they don't mess with this virtualization and give you cloud
bare metal.

Are you sure? Is it ok in US to lie in advertisement?

Hi all,

some of our services are hosted on a Hetzner rootserver (EX4 for 49
Euros/month), Intel Quad-Core i7-2600 processor, 16 GB DDR 3 RAM, 2 x
3 TB SATA 6 Gb/s hard disks. You can have it with a preinstalled
Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, OpenSuse, Debian, FreeBSD, and for some extra
money Windows. After 10TB outgoing traffic they'll charge you 6.90
Euro for every additional TB or they'll downgrade your network
interface to 10MBit/s. For additional 39 Euros/month they'll upgrade
your link to 1 GBit including additional 15TB traffic.

So far we are very happy with Hetzner.

Cheers
André

Anyone tried Red Hat`s openshift?
https://openshift.redhat.com/app/

It let you create 3 free apps, for example, erlang, postgresql and nginx.

Hi Serge, if you have an Erlang web application that you want to deploy,
Heroku has buildpack[1] support for a number of OTP versions.

The big downside right now is that you can't do Erlang distribution -
your web app would have to coordinate via a shared resource like a queue
or a database as typical Rails/Java/... apps do. It's an unfortunate
restriction of the platform right now.

The upside is you get one free dyno[2] (linux container) for your app, and
a catalogue of addons[3] that together with the platform take care of
almost all your ops chores.

Cheers,
