Ok, first of all I hope nobody takes this the wrong way. I am not suggesting anything outside of any legal means but I need some clarification and maybe some insight and advice.
First of all, if we use IIS - is that a proprietary Alpha thing that would require a license issued by Alpha to serve an alpha application?
Secondly, does anyone know if the Alpha Cloud is a hosting or a server environment, in other words if you pay for Alpha Cloud is that per domain for hosting or is it more like a server you would log into like zebra host and then you need to install the alpha server or IIS and of course stuff like RDPguard...
The other thing if anyone can offer advice - how would you use this as a business developing applications for others? Do you host and serve and actually manage their license? Do you require that they own all that and you manage/maintain?
I am just wondering how I could start something like this with a very small developer budget. I certainly wouldn't want to buy a license for a customer and be responsible for a subscription while producing lets say a proto-type for a bid. Maybe that's how its done...thanks in advance for your thoughts and ideas.
Lastly, I really don't want this thread devolving into a discussion of alphas business model of subscriptions, it would be better to discuss best practices and pitfalls of getting started. Like I said in another thread I have several ideas I want to develop to pitch to prospective customers.
