Rackspace's Cloudfiles. Does support static websites.
- leesalminen 10y agoI use both RS Cloud Files and Google's Cloud Storage. Google's is superior in nearly every way. The only con is that it is a Google product that could be deprecated at any point in time. But, with all the acquisition stuff happening over at RS, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about them killing of their cloud offering.
- deesix 10y agoTwo things: 1) Google Cloud Storage can host static websites: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website 2) Google Cloud Platform has a 1 year deprecation policy, which would never happen with a product that so many companies and customer rely on (Google Reader had a small but passionate base) Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud Platform
- leesalminen 10y agoTo clarify on #2, are you saying that Google Cloud Platform in its entirety has a 1 year deprecation policy? Or that individual products within the platform have a 1 year deprecation policy? I'm not worried about Google deprecating the Storage service but that they could kill off the entire platform. Also just wanted to say that I've been extremely happy with GCP thus far and all the services I've tried thus far have more features than RS. I really hope GCP is here for the long haul.
- vgt 10y agoFor what it's worth, a fairly large 5 year contract between Google Cloud and Snap Inc was recently made public.
- deesix 10y agoSorry, for any product on GCP, there is a 1 year deprecation policy. GCP isn't going anywhere. See the comment about Snap and Diane Greene's involvement (she is an Alphabet board member). Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud Platform
- vocatus_gate 10y agoI worry about everything Google hosts because they have such a track record of just randomly axing products with no or little warning.
