What is the best hosting provider for MongoDB for Windows?

Question

I am looking for a reliable hosting provider for MongoDB. I need to host Windows with a dedicated server. I do not see any named players who offer mongo hosting. Hope you guys can help me.

My budget is $ 100 per month. Thanks

I'm not sure this question is best suited for stackoverflow, but ...

If you want a “dedicated server”, you won’t get it for $ 100 per month:) ... but you can get closer: I would suggest a VPS with lots of RAM.

With Virtual Private Server (VPS), you get the full “virtual” OS for yourself to do whatever you want.

You can install MongoDB (where the RAM is located), and do whatever you need, do multiple hosts, install Windows services, etc.

I used both of these personally ...

Both with Windows + MongoDB, and it worked perfectly.

Of course you need to know how to control a Windows machine ...

It is best to be a cloud server from Rackspace Cloud or Amazon EC2 . I ran MongoDB for both vendors, on Windows and Linux, no problem.

Around your $ 100 monthly price range, you can get a Windows window with these specifications:

• Rackspace: 2 GB RAM, 80 GB HD, 32 or 64 bit ($ 116.80 / month)
• Amazon EC2: 1.7 GB RAM, 160 GB HD, 32-bit ($ 87.60 per month).

In this price range, I will be tempted to go with Rackspace because of the 64-bit version of Windows, although you can also see EC2 Micro instances using EBS, which have a 64-bit option.

If you use MongoDB on a 32-bit system, the database size is limited to about 2 GB, so it is usually best to avoid it.
