Comparison

Project3000 vs your own server

A rented server (VPS) can be cheap. Running an app on it well takes more work than it seems: setup, security updates, the database, certificates, backups and failures at night.

By the Project3000 team · · 4 min read

In short: a VPS gives you full control and you do all the work. Project3000 does that work for you, from $9.90 per app per month, and runs every app on two servers so one failure doesn’t take it down.

When your own server makes sense

  • You enjoy running servers, or you need software Project3000 doesn’t run (for example GPU work).
  • You need full control of the operating system.

Questions and answers

Is a VPS cheaper?
The server itself can be. Add the database, backups, monitoring and your own time, and the difference usually disappears, while one server stays one point of failure.
