Tech Gurus....... Cloud Servers

What are the available options for an affordable and secure cloud based server solution to host an online business?

Nimejaribu kuongea na noogle cloud but they keep ignoring my queries

Thanks @Deorro

Microsoft Azure have an initiative called BizSpark whereby they give free hosting worth $150 per month spread over 6 accounts(i.e. free $900USD service per month) for 3 years for good ideas.

You can spin up linux vm’s on the service or use the microsoft services that handle the scaling etc for you. I prefer the former though.

This question is really ambiguous though because we have no idea what ‘affordable’ to you is or your business requirements i.e. whether it is an app or just a simple website about your business that you need to put up.

Thanks @grandpa. The business is an app providing cloud bookkeeping services for about 300 entrepreneurs in eastern africa financed by our program. So it will also involve an interactive database.

You can also check out these cloud hosting providers.
