Hi, Datacenter servers with RTX GPUs are quite expensive. Are you really willing to pay that cost?
Hello and thank for you message.
I am planning to buy hardware according to specification and meanwhile rent it in datacenter. Considering it won’t take me more then a couple of weeks (a month tops) I wont spend a fortune on the datacenter support.
Hi Lurizz , thanks for the information. I think “just from expirience” to keep you for the next batch. My personal view is to increase distribution and even you want to host it yourself you want to start in a datacenter. You can prevent that cost and just join later when you have the necessary connection and HW.
Thank for your suggestion, snapo84
Appreciated
Needs to meet HW requirements.
Hi everyone, a couple of community members mentioned that it is better to have HW on hand and I do agree with that.
I do not have it right now, as I do not require it for my other activities. That is why I want to first place my node in a datacentre (presumably datapark.com.ua/). Even though it may be a bit expensive to host in a datacentre, it will be even more expensive to buy HW and do not use it for anything.
When and if my application is successful I will buy HW and assemble it at home, I have unlimited 200 mbit/s connection, so it will have almost perfect up-time.
