A great solution for hosting needs for freelance developers

IBM Cloud Virtual Servers are being used by me as a freelance developer hosting personal projects as well as clients. It solves my hosting situation. When you are a developer, like myself, it's easy to create a hosting environment and have it ready to deploy when needed.

Before I was spending a lot more with hosting on dedicated servers before switching to virtual servers. I love the pricing. It's really easy to budget for my hosting needs. I love having hourly and monthly usage and options. The hourly is great for deploying projects in development modes that do not need to be billed monthly. This is how I was able to cut down my server costs. I can create server images, deploy them quickly, get billed hourly, and end at any time while having my main server billed monthly.

I think it's great to be able to select the location of the server or multiple servers since some projects might be focused on a particular region.

ROI is an extremely important factor with cloud computing. It's important to identify the right service for your products. Being able to add or remove services based on the server's needs makes it more cost efficient for any organization. Since I do pay-as-you-go services it's very beneficial to adjust these services environment according to the peak usage. For example, I reduce the environment during off season to increase my ROI and increase the resources when needed.

As mentioned in my earlier comment, it's important to use the hourly flexibility to your advantage. Use resources when they are needed and reduce them when they are not. If you run a business that is more used during the winter time, you can reduce your server resources to save money throughout the year. Increasing your resources during peak and prime seasons would be beneficial. This wouldn't be very efficient to adjust every day, it would be more recommended in the long term approach spread out throughout the year based on off seasons. An example would be a landscaping business that has a long stretch of off season through the fall and winter. You could reduce your resources throughout fall and winter to save your annual server fees.
