  1. POWhat is Appharbors SSL SNI, and is it sufficient to run Stripe Payments?
    text
    copied!<p>I am wanting to build my first production application for a client using AppHarbor for the first time. </p> <p>I am debating on windows azure vs. appharbor and I need the following features:</p> <p>custom hostname SSL for payments MSSQL Database</p> <p>The cheapest price wins! So far from what I have found I can set up Azure with 1 small VM, a 10 GB database, and a fair amount of bandwidth for about $130. </p> <p>Looking at AppHarbor I could go with the Catarman plan for $49 and add a shared SQL Server instance for $10 (10GB).</p> <p>The only thing I don't understand is what SSL SNI is, and whether or not it is sufficient for mobile payments.</p> <p>Has anyone set up a production app running on Appharbor with asp.net and mssql? Anything I need to be aware of. I am used to the Azure hosting environment, but I believe it could be less expensive trying app harbor. Let me know if there are any roadblocks with AppHarbor that I may be missing, as well as what the implications are with SSL SNI.</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>EDIT: Sorry, it is a little opinion based so let me see if i can break it out into some fact finding:</p> <ol> <li><p>Is there a downside to using SSL SNI when processing payments on my application? Less security? Less browser support?</p></li> <li><p>If you have set up an asp.net MVC application using EF code first with migrations, is there anything that is different with appharbor vs. windows azure?</p></li> </ol> <p>This is the root of the question, but expert opinions are welcome (though I suppose frowned upon in this particular stack exchange site..)</p>
