Should I Just Host On Site or on Premise?

Filemaker Server 16 Tech Specs

Compared over 3 years, here’s an example of the cost savings of hosting in the cloud versus running your own server on premise:

  • $150/month LuminFire Cloud FileMaker hosting = $5,400
  • $492/month Windows Server= $17,700 (save $12,30)
  • $333/month macOS Mini Server= $12,000 (save $6,600)

Here’s the math to show it

Sometimes companies believe that an on-premise server is more secure when it’s actually the other way around. Hosting in a data center built for security is much better than a place where someone could more easily gain physical access to the server hardware. Even so, if you have reasons for requiring an on-premise FileMaker server such as company policies, government restrictions, poor internet connection, etc. we also assist with setting up and maintaining an on-site FileMaker server.
