It’s good to know that QuickerSite works – without a single problem – on the latest Windows 2019 Server.But I managed to get it up and running rather quickly. Getting started with such an AWS instance requires some in-depth understanding of how firewalls work, how to install IIS, an SMTP server, assign IP addresses, and many other things… Sometimes I feel like it’s too much for my small brains.Very useful, but again, only available to a handful of their datacenters… The AWS backup solution fully automates the creation of snapshots (backups) at very low rates.And of course, you can easily upgrade that machine with more CPU, RAM and disk space any time. After the free period has expired, that server would only cost at around 15€/month. You can easily host up to 30 (small) QuickerSites on such an instance. You can have a Windows 2019 with 30GB of disk space and 1GB of RAM for free… That sounds like a ridiculously small server, but believe me, it works very well. That basically means you pay nothing in the first 12 months. You can make use of their so called “Free Tier” offers.At this time it’s only available to 4 of the many datacenters they have. Make sure to use one the datacenters that has AWS backup available.Some things to keep in mind when using AWS: They do cloud hosting the object oriënted way. It feels like they have been thinking a lot about it over the years. AWS has a longer tradition in cloud hosting. Things are a bit more complex coming from Google Cloud, but that has its reasons. I decided to give Amazon Web Services a try. So there is absolutely no way to host websites (with contact forms, or any other forms) on a Google Cloud server. Google Cloud Servers block outgoing port 25, meaning that you cannot run an SMTP service on that port. You can ask AWS support to lift that throttle though.Ī while back I was very excited about Google Cloud. UPDATE: it turns out that AWS as well throttles port 25 in case many emails are sent at once (like is usually the case when sending out newsletters).
