I totally agree with Marcel, I've been running a paid-for production app for 2 years now for European clients. Number one request for improvement is speed of the app. I'm just embarking on a series of omptimisations, but clearly not being hosted in Europe is an obvious cause for latency that I can't address.
I don't see why it should cost 6000 per year just do host in Europe, as that is currently beyond my budget given my customer base. However it doesn't help me sell my app and ramp up with high latencies. Like Marcel I'd be prepared to pay a bit of a premium for European hosting, but this "all or nothing" approach seems unreasonable to me. Are there any plans to change this pricing decision? many thanks, On Tuesday, September 18, 2012 12:54:33 PM UTC+2, Marcel Manz wrote: > > We'd like to setup GAE hosted apps in Google's European datacenters, but > don't see a reason why European businesses are forced in paying $500 > Premium-Support just to roll out apps in Europe so our customers can > experience low-latency access. > > Can Google please comment on when this restriction will be lifted?
