Hosted Elasticsearch vs installing Elasticsearch
It’s a question of personal feeling.
– If you’re a dev ops guy, you’ll like installing Elasticsearch on your own dedicated server, or VPS. You’ll benefit from dedicated resources and power, and smaller connexion times. You’ll also pay much less if you have lot’s of data or queries.
– If you’re more like a business man, and want to outsource plenty of boring stuff like security, load balancing, node distribution, scalability, then renting a hosted Elasticsearch server is for you.
Compatible hosted Elasticsearch services
Below are the hosted services tested with WPSOLR (free and PRO), ordered alphabetically. We do not favour those services over others, we have just been able to add them to our automated tests. If you think other services could be interesting, just let us know.
Also, you can watch a series of tutorials about creating an Elasticsearch index. The tutorials can be used for all the hosted services listed below. You just have to copy/paste your specific hosting credentials where required.
