Spaces has no transactional fee and a free 1TB of outbound storage, so your costs are easier to predict. Spaces however requires a minimum $5/mo commitment.
DO Spaces has no cname ability, whereas Amazon S3 does but that's not a concern for backup use.
At a technical level both are an S3 product and perform as well as each-other.
A solid pro would be close range for data transfer if backing up from within the same datacenter. That can be a big deal when the backups get large enough.
Do not use both, if you don't want to lose a lot of your money.
These companies have hidden fees and they're randomly select customers which will be abused by their weird untransparent pricing. Do you want to start to owe your money to these companies? Start to use them, but do not say that no one warned you before.
Better check vultr/Linode/ovh/BuyVM/what ever, but not DO or AWS.
What hidden charges are there at DO?
Could you explain how DO has untransparent pricing?
Have you looked at self hosted Minio?
Absolutely false statement. Feel free to email me at jdonnell @ digitalocean.com if you feel that you've been treated unfairly.
Sure about the commitment thing?
Aye. It’s $5/m which includes 250GB of storage, whether or not you use it. Anything beyond that 250GB is billed at $0.02 per GB.
What's the estimated size of the backups, the frequency of backups & how often do you plan on pulling the data?
Thanks. It may not be good for use cases of some people.
Weekly backups about 60 gb data.
Platform Support Leader saying absolute false statement. Nice.
What if I will start to post proofs?) What's next? What will you do? Ban me here? Or will remove posts? Or will you close topic? Or will say that me (client) - guilty and it's my faults?) Just curious.
Post it please. What is the truth?
However, you'd better back it up with evidence.
I mean it's not like some conspiracy where I'm over here throwing customers off a cliff because I don't like feeding my children, so there's some value to my words and you're welcome to test them.
I gave you an avenue. If you'd like a situation looked into, this is what I do. If you were treated poorly, I'll hold anyone accountable who needs to be. If you weren't, I won't sugar coat my description of the situation to you. I'll always investigate any situation that you bring to my attention. Regardless, it is patently false that we "randomly select customers which will be abused by their weird untransparent pricing" and there is no situation that will be brought to my attention which will prove otherwise. This is server hosting, not the hunger games.
You may not agree with a decision, and you’re welcome to run it by me, but decisions are not “random based on pricing” nor are there fees which are not published.
Put up or shut up.
