Now you can use Google App Engine to host your company website

October 14, 2013 | Author: Michael Stromann


Google App

Engine added support for PHP - the language on which 90% of websites are created. So now you can move your corporate website to this cloud platform. Why is it better than the regular hosting that you currently use? First, GAE provides free quotas: 1GB for file and data storage and 1Gb of traffic per day. So for most small business websites this hosting will be free. For large companies that have websites with big attendance - the cost would be almost the same as with regular hosting. But with GAE they can be sure that their sites work reliably, because GAE - is the platform on which Google's own services work and it can withstand heavy loads and even natural disasters. In addition to website hosting, the PHP support on Google App Engine may help to grow more SaaS services. Because now the large army of PHP-developers will get the opportunity to start for free and attract customers with the reliable platform.
