Where is Makerlog hosted?
If I remember correctly getmakerlog uses nextjs and a nodejs server. I'm figuring out where to host my web app, leaning towards VPS solutions as it is more cost-effective vs AWS, etc. For websites as large as getmakerlog, what is the average cost for web hosting?
@sergio is really the person to answer this but I'll share my knowledge.
I believe Makerlog is React frontend and Django backend. The client and api both use Cloudfare protection hence I can't find the IP and tell you who the hosting provider is, HOWEVER, I can tell using network traffic that Makerlog is using DigitalOcean spaces for hosting static images. This would lead me to believe that probably the rest of Makerlog is hosted on DigitalOcean too.
Hope this helps! 🤓
Yup, nailed the stack!
- Django REST Framework API (hosted on DigitalOcean)
- create-react-app frontend (hosted on Netlify)
Awesome, thanks for the answer! I thought makerlog was SSR-ed but I'm mistaken.
@wooolfgang Nope, not yet! In the process though - I'm moving to NextJS for the SEO benefits. We use Netlify prerendering though for the pretty social links. 🔥
@sergio If you are ok with sharing this, around how much do you spend for your VPS for getmakerlog? I'm planning to host my side-project with a vps instead of aws.
