Digital ocean offers ssd on all the virtual machines. Uptime is good.

I have done it myself and even have some clients doing it now *for proof of concept*. I've never heard of anyone using it for the kind of load you are talking about. I'm assuming with such a giant load you are making a decent profit. Buy some hefty hardware and do the architecture properly.

Still a shared resource. I don't see the benefit. Even beyond the shared resource bit, with the kind of IO you are likely to be pushing, you will want a decent NAS with lots of spindles and fibre channel to your hosts. j On 03/08/2015 10:51 AM, Jai Rangi wrote:> Digital ocean offers ssd on all the virtual machines.

Agreed, network will be bottleneck even with ssd on shared resource. For a stable env having a dedicated hosted server will be the best approach and cheaper too.
