I don&#x27;t mind.  I went with dedicated hosting.  I found a supplier which had their own scalable infrastructure.  They already had clients which had ad server type applications that scaled into the Billions and could handle traffic spikes.  With that type of setup, it was a no brainer.<p>I&#x27;m a sysadmin with over 10 years with Linux.  So for me to setup and support servers is pretty trivial.<p>The agreement I had with the supplier.  They managed the network and hardware 24&#x2F;7.  I managed the setup and support of the servers from the OS up.  This arrangement worked well and I had zero downtime.
