Advice: Best Pogo for web dev hosting: Pro, V3, Clasic?

[greenman]

I just set up a pogoplug B01 for rysnc and mysql backup of some of my clients' various shared-hosting websites. It's working very well! In the end, it should allow me to sleep a little easier at night.

But I want to get another pogoplug and use it as a linux dev machine and to possibly host a dynamic-dns-enabled website or two.

The Pogo B01 is the model I got the first time. Is there a better model for web hosting?

Will a website hosted on a flash stick be as durable as one set up on a hard drive?

If you know of web articles/blog posts with concrete suggestions on best practices for a well-thought-out web-hosting setting situation using a pogoplug, I'd be grateful.

Let me address these in order:

Yes, but remember that you won't be running anything intensive on it at a high performance. Try to stay lightweight (that includes the server software!)

Are flash sticks as durable as hard drives?

There are a few out there, but try to stick to lighttpd / nignx / non-huge python django.

I'd say no one plug will give you the power of a VPS, why? CPU.

Most are 128M, some are 256M, but a lot are ARMv5. I am not saying you cannot run a site, I am saying that you need to remember the constraints you are working in. I use mine for all kinds of things: ssh tunneling, nodejs development, etc etc. They are quite capable, but you have to remember that they are low power devices, and with that comes lower-than-often-expected performance.

WarheadsSE,

That's what I needed to hear. You're right -- it's more of an experiment than something expected to be reliable.

Cheers.

LOL They are reliable, just not power-houses
