I'm using iwStack.com (from Prometeus) and I'm loving it. I really like that I can create new servers as I need them, only pay for them when I use them, then turn them off or destroy them. And of course, really good hardware in the cloud, that makes it really fast, and stable.
I never have all my eggs in one basket, and I'm now wondering about the possible to cut down on servers and providers, if I could get one other cloud host like iwStack.
I really like CloudStack, but maybe there are other systems that is as good, or better?
My requirements are as follows:
- Pay as you go account
- No charges for instances that is turned off (but OK with charges for disk and IP)
- The possible to upload and use my own .iso files.
- The possible to create own templates.
- Datacenter in Europe
I have only found exoscale.ch (based in Switzerland) that offer most of the same thing that iwStack.com do (no snapshots yet) but, it's seems like they do charge for instances that not run, and their prices is insane high compared with iwstack. Etc: 1 GB RAM, 1vcore, 10 GB HDD = €31.8/mo at exoscale and €5.4/mo at iwstack.com
Can anybody match iwstack at all, or at least come near? And what other cloud hosts are there that offer the same as iwstack (beside price).
