If you were looking to cloud host your SQL, who would you consider and why?
Let's say you were starting small, with only a couple of users and a very small amount of data, but had the potential to grow the number of users to hundreds and terabytes of data. Who would you start with and would they be able to grow with you? Would it be a good idea to migrate at a certain benchmark or start with the company who can take you all the way?
What about support for SQL? Who can cloud host SQL and give you the support you need?
Does the geographic location of the cloud host matter to you? How does that affect latency?
What about geographic redundancy? Backups? Do you keep a local copy?
Lots and lots of cloud hosting questions and I look forward to everyone's responses!
Thanks!
