Posted April 26, 20187 yr The web based emoncms is no longer going to be free from 1 July 2018. The way I understand it is that you will pay £1 / year / feed. If you have 30 Node inputs then that will be £ 30 / year. Emoncms Local hosting will still be for free.
April 26, 20187 yr Hosting such software cost a wee bit. Am surprised they took so long. I know for we have been hosting EMON for a while now on a Linux virtual machine running a Hetzner rented Windows server.

And you said you tried some free offerings. I wanted to mention one that isn't free, but so cheap that it's worth it. It's cheaper even than Amazon's virtual servers, and these days with docker taking over the hosting world... you pretty much build your app into a docker container and just deploy it anywhere. Edit: In fact, someone's done the hard work already :-)
