Suggested 3rd Party Solr Hosting??

[bobchristenson]

We're in a situation where we need a Solr server but one is not offered by our webhost. Are there any affordable 3rd party Solr hosts that integrate easily with this module?

We signed up for a trial with SearchStax because they support Drupal...but it turns out they support Drupal 8+ and their D7 integration isn't really doable.

I'm hoping someone can suggest a solution for using this module with a 3rd party Solr host!

Just an update that it seems like OpenSolr may be compatible...but it runs Solr 8. Still trying to figure out how to make this module compatible with that version...

Any luck? Upgrading the module to work with Solr 8+ is pretty necessary but a good chunk of work.

For the record, I've been trying out https://opensolr.com and it will work.

When adding an index through OpenSolr it has various existing index servers that are with older versions of Solr. I'm testing out 5.x but I think this module might work with 7.x.

Update: actually it only allows up to 5.x in the UI, so maybe 7.x support wasn't fully realized.
