Cmon. Your cheap shared hosting doesn't compare when it comes to scale and features.


Yes, but it doesn't compare when it comes to price either, considering a single Dyno costs $36/month when I'm paying $44/year for the whole plan.

(And that comes with excellent support - for example, I asked if they were planning to offer Python and they said "Sure, just gives us a couple of days to set up a machine with Python for you", even when I was only interested in the cheapest plan).

I know they don't serve the same market, but I find it strange that a service that costs an order of magnitude more doesn't have a better uptime than cheap shared hosting.


Primarily because in order for amazon to pull a profit, they're not stuffing these systems in high-quality datacenters ;)
