Keep Cherry Servers, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cherry Servers you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 74 of the 122 other web hosts grade higher. It costs $42 a year.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Cherry Servers’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
