[annodex-dev] Server hardware question for annodex application

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

Are you keen to use a local machine as your server? Otherwise it may
well be better for you to look at an Amazon server. You can get one of
them for fairly cheap and when you reach a boundary (memory-wise or
disk-wise) you can always scale up dynamically. Unless you are doing
lots and lots of bandwidth, the Amazon servers are actually really
good price.

Cheers,
Silvia.
