We've been with iDevCloud for many years now Joe and have always been happy with the service. We actually have two portions there - our main machine for System i Developer and another small one that we use to host classes.

Hi Everyone! My venerable old model 270 is getting a bit long in the tooth. I've gotten a lot of use out of it over the years, with the only real ongoing maintenance being to replace a disk drive every now and again. But it's time to look for a replacement and I really don't think the joy of having a machine in the basement is going to be worth the price. I think the entry level system might be the S914, and that's still a chunk of change (and that's before the price of the OS).

So I was wondering what anyone else is using these days for a cloud solution. I don't do any hosting any more, so really I just use the machine to maintain my PBD software and to write articles. It cracks me up that my whole system is 87GB, and that I thought that was a ton back in the day. :)

I know there are a few free solutions and I know there at least one or two hosting vendors here. All I'm looking for is a development partition I can connect to via RDi. I'd love to have a web server just so I can play around with various server-side web technologies, and that's about it. I have a lot of small libraries, which tends to rule out someone like PUB400.

So anyone who has any ideas, feel free to chime in. I'm happy to hear from vendors as well, either here or privately.

Thanks, everyone!
