Pros and cons of cloud hosting for a busy project?

Question

Cloud computing

Hello, I'm actually interested in the pros and cons of using cloud hosting for a loaded project (50 thousand uniques per day), 1.5 GB database.
Which of the companies could you advise?

Answer 1

> 50 thousand uniques per day), DB 1.5 GB
Is this a loaded project? I have a similar site running on a regular dedik.

Answer 2

Pros - for example, you will pay less at night (less load on the server).
I have not found any cons yet (they really had those problems), the price, other things being equal, is almost equal to the price of vds, dedic.
I recommend scalaxy or clodo (I'm a scalaxy client).

Answer 3

Selectel recently had a crash due to nfs balls of kernel modules.
Claudo and scalaxy fell suspiciously often, scalaxies have some problems with gfs.
In general, at the moment, the technologies of our Russian clouds have not settled down enough and I would not transfer anything there yet.
Of the minuses, one can single out expensive memory, falls due to ongoing experiments.

Answer 4

Self-promotion of course, let's give you a virtual machine for a test for 2-3 weeks, and you see if you like it or not.
