Raspberry Pi 2 - More power!

16 March 2015

The new Raspberry Pi 2 is quite an interesting beast, for some time it has been possible to run small low power web applications on the raspberry pi, but now with much more CPU power and 1GB of RAM, the pi has become quick the pocket powerhouse. Moore's Law affects even the pocket and of the computer world it seems. This has caused me to seriously question my own hosting arangements, why should I continue to pay for hosting (with 1GB of RAM and 50GB of storage) when I could achieve the same results with a Raspberry Pi?

I dont host anything that really uses that much power answers that many hits - so I could just run a single pi and have roughly the same resources and cut the monthly bills. Its an interesting option for sure, one that needs at least some thought about how it might work.
