I am. It's my first web service and couldn't justify the expenditure of a cloud based service. In fact, because it's my first experience, I'm a really better off with the entire control. I can see exactly what happens, when it happens. I can also switch database as I see fit, the only requirement being to be runnable on my machine.

It simply runs on my working computer, on the background. - 5.8 GB - 4 CPUs @ 2.33 ghz

If I ever need to get more power/memory/bandwidth, (which would be a nice problem) then I'll reconsider.

I suppose this is all a question of scale. Is your startup getting 10s, 100s, 1000s visitors a day?

Do you have paying users ? How many if yes ?
