I'm looking for advice about low cost service/cloud providers.
Which one would you recommend ? Are there some free plans ?
Beter stay on iaas or paas cloud services ?
Are there any saas or should be better staying just on a dedicated machine ?
Thank you in advance

All appear to be in beta. Some are tied to other PAAS platforms. We host
our own and if you have anyone familiar with ops, it a really easy process
to setup a self-healing cluster. We do that on EC2.
Hope this helps,
Brandon

I've been using the free package from Found.no for the last 3 months - to
allow my distributed developers to all work from the same instance.
The service has been reliable, and the company have been very responsive.
There was a URL mangling issue (multiple curly braces failing to get
through), but they fixed it promptly. No, it was better than that. THEY
FIXED IT WITHIN A MINUTE OF MY REPORTING IT. Now that's amazing 😉

Hi Luca,
I'm the founder of [searchbox.io](http://searchbox.io) and our service is at beta status but
except being scalable enough to handle hundreds of millions it is reliable.
We are available on AppHarbor and Heroku but also it can be used
individually.
We are working hard to mature it and I would be happy to help you if you
would like to give it a try if our service fits your requirements. (You can
get lots of free goodies while we are in beta)
KR,
Ferhat SOBAY

Keep on the good job

I heard something good about that too, anyway, after some days I asked for
beta, nobody answered ...

Hey.
I work for Found.
Sorry about that. We've been seeing more demand than we have capacity to hand out for free now. We've also been behind on sending out updates, due to vacations.
We're expanding capacity soon, so we'll be in touch.

Hi,
We're looking at this at the moment.
We've found a couple: searchly, found, bonsai.
Is there one you can recommend?
Our app is in AWS Europe, so having it there would be a big bonus point.
Thanks,
Ricardo

[qbox.io](http://qbox.io) is another provider. I have never used any hosted providers, but I
have spoken to some Qbox developers and they seem really knowledgeable.
They are an official partner of Elasticsearch, but I do not think they have
hosting in AWS Europe.
Cheers,
Ivan

Hi Ricardo,
I'm a founder of Bonsai, and have been hosting search as a service since
2009, so am happy to answer whatever questions you might have. Most
providers on AWS will support the EU region (ourselves included). Happy to
follow up with more, either here or off-list.
