Many things can influence your choice of infrastructure provider.
You should conduct a cost-benefit analysis based on your budget and the pricing offered by the various providers. To do this you can simply head on to our pricing page and carefully examine pricing for the different providers.
After pricing, it is essential to factor in performance. We have listed feature sets below for your convenience. However, these providers are continuously improving their infrastructure. Therefore, the best way to assess performance would be to deploy your applications on several providers and compare speed.
Reliability, the speed of backups/restores, high availability, and the speed of scaling are other factors that we will cover (providers here are listed alphabetically, so the order doesn’t imply any preference from our side).
