i can no longer recommend AWS
-
Since ARPU (average revenue per user) became a unit to measure business success, companies like AWS don’t want you anymore (or at least bank analysts tell them so) - you’re way to small in revenue to warrant a proper support. They want the big customers.
@necrevistonnezr i believe ya, man

Hello people,
If you remember one of my previous posts, I recommended Amazon Web Services (AWS). Back when I had it, it provided great service and I enjoyed using it. However, based on their support, I can no longer recommend them.They have refused to take note of my financial constraints. Since our chat, the AWS bill skyrocketed to nearly a thousand dollars. It has become clear to me that they do not care about their customers, only about themselves. Amazon is Amazon.
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide screenshots, but to summarize, I simply wanted to find a solution for my situation. They suggested giving me an adjustment, but my co-founder and I would have to terminate our running resources. That is just absurd!
I have vital information stored which includes public keys. Additionally, I have encrypted customer data and relying solely on backups is insufficient. In simple terms, I cannot recommend AWS to viewers any longer. Once my co-founder gets back to me, I will explore the possibility of switching to Hetsnor or a similar alternative.
Thank you for reading.

@marcusquinn cool.
and back then i thought AWS was reputable, because my cofounder decided it'd be a great idea to use it. personally, i didn't want to use it, but their firewall was pretty good.
and now thismy website is not available right now

@adison Just imagine all the corporates that are now locked-in to proprietary "clouds" now.
@marcusquinn mmhmm. and they really don't cair.
agreeeeeeeeeeed!
they seam to not cair though, because they're makin that GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN money and don't really cair.
thats stupid -
not from a business perspective - if you cost them more when their make from you, they try to get rid of you. I noticed this often with my clients. If they use the support a lot, they tend to get kicked one way or the other. I have to admit, I had such a customer myself. He ran on a support flatrate, and we got about 3-5 calls every week, while other customers called us maybe once every 3-4 months.
I canceled his contract as well. -
We all love to hate Amazon, and generally for very good reasons.
However they do have the right to target their services (and pricing) to their preferred audience.
They don't "owe" the little guy anything.
But what is strange (from my perspective) is that they entice lots of little guys in with Free Tier for a year. Then the pricing becomes high, but the little guys haven't thought about this and they feel trapped.
Of course, they're not trapped, but takes a lot long time to realise this. -

what i also found...strage, is that they make you pay more when you need technical support!
thats like going to your friend that knows about cars house, telling him hey, somethings wrong with my car, an he says, o i'll fix it, but uh, you gotta pay me monthly to ix it, something like that.
if i want support, and i'll have to pay for it, i'll consult 1 of my tech friends who can give me the support i need. i have a plan with them, it costs 0dollers a month. -
