Should Habbox move database backups to Amazon RDS?

Vote yes.

Even if the majority of the forum vote yes, it's not a decision the community can have a decision in. As at the end of the day it's the owners of Habbox who will have to pay for this. I'm not saying we shouldn't but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

$2 p/m isn't unreasonable.

We would have a slave database running on Amazon's AWS, it would make a copy of Habbox's mysql server in real-time, on top of that daily backups would be made of the server from the AWS end. The result being that if the database becomes ****** on the Habbox server like it has now just done twice in a month, then there would be a perfect drop-in backup.

I voted no because I'm a rebel, also like Matt said these sort of things shouldn't be democratic
