Can someone please indicate the costs to run 10 Master Nodes (based on a recommended hosting solution) and roughly the amount of time involved each week, or month, to manage them.
Many thanks.
All I know is Amazon. I'd say if it's your first time around, 2 days to get them all set up at most, and about $70 - $100 a month tops to run on t2 tinies with all charges..... er.... if you commit to a 3 year deal where you get the low prices. (~$100 per server)
So yah, that's all I know
On vultre you pay 5$ per month. Traffic included is everything you need. No contract. If you shut down a node no more cost on next days or until end of month. Only that you use. 10nodes = 50$/month
Eventually, Masternodes are going to have to put out for larger servers to hold more data and run the "darktor" thingy, and all the other services. When that happens, my amazon will become a family minecraft server, LOL.
I've got a nice list of companies that offer some excellent services regarding anonymity, etc... and are not in the USA. So when the time comes, that's where my service will go. At the time I got my amazon, MN were brand new and I knew I was going in on it for the long haul, so I got the contract. THEN everyone started talking about diversifying the network, and getting it out of the country, etc... LOL. Well, I put too much into this, can't afford to go elsewhere until things pick up. But I figured I can answer the question from what I know there, and hopefully help someone make an informed decision.
