If you can at all help it, stay as far away from Mosso as you possibly can. Their cloud architecture is horrible and they have a lot of downtime.

There was just some posts on the forum about how they don't even allow
root level access.

"Unlike competitors such as Joyent or Amazon, Mosso's system does not
offer customers root level access to their servers. Instead, servers
are preconfigured with a range of software options and are fully
managed similar to a shared hosting environment." -

Yea thats true, I actually dont think there is any shell access root or not. Also, I have to wonder what kind of setup they are deploying their ruby stuff on. You also are assigned a tables off one of many database servers, I found that my clients database was frequently down.  Their admin panel is horrible: I found myself having to delete sites and recreate them because the panel was to rigid to do much else. When that was done I ran into problems because in the 20 minutes or so from the time i deleted it to the time i created it again their cleanup script hadnt run yet.... They were just problem after problem...

Not sure if you guys have used Rightscale, but its pretty much all we
deploy on and I got a couple of friends who work there. But its pretty
much a S3 with a bunch of management tools.

Kelly,
Your considering using Rightscale over @ bodybuilding?

[Kelly Householder]

Yes, we have been doing EC2/S3 for a while now but the RighScale looks very good we so far have not been able to get it working with our images but I can see all the potential is there to do what we want.
