EC2 can be viewed in the same way as a dedicated host in terms of management. i.e. you have to be able to run the servers and OS like you would a dedicated host. <a href="http://bytemark.co.uk" target="_blank">bytemark.co.uk</a> are the only people i can recommend for a vps, but again once you start paying for engineers to do stuff, you're looking at similar prices to rackspace.<div>

Not really. I pretty much recommend people go with a bigger service like RackSpace, which has a very solid reputation, but also comes with a steep price tag (of course the old saying "you get what you pay for" comes into play here).<br>

How about Mosso? (<a href="http://www.mosso.com" target="_blank">www.mosso.com</a>) A cloud service owned by RackSpace. But if I understand their pricing correctly, the service starts at $350/mo. I hope I'm wrong. If you look at <a href="http://www.mosso.com/cloud.jsp" target="_blank">http://www.mosso.com/cloud.jsp</a> it says:<br>
<br>
"Step Two: Watch it Scale<br>
...<br>
* Scale your bandwidth<br>
Starts at 500GB/mo. As much as you need for 25˘ per GB<br>
* Scale your storage<br>
Starts at 50GB/mo. As much as you need for 50˘ per GB<br>
* Scale your compute<br>
Starts at 10,000 compute cycles/mo. As many as you need for 1˘ per compute cycle"<br>
<br>
<br>
So we have a minimum of: 500*0.25 + 50*0.25 + 10000*0.01 = $350/mo.<br>
<br>
:-(<br>
<br>
Honestly, our site would do fine with 5GB of disk space and 10GB of bandwidth.<br><font color="#888888">
