<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm thinking about trying acquia cloud dev but I'm
quite confused about their prices, also I'm not sure if I can host website there
that are in production and not just in development.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sure that they created great tools regarding
dev, staging and production sites but I think I would be too limited if I'm not
able to store some other websites (I also have some Joomla and WP to host
too).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But it's true I'd really like to delegate
optimization and server configuration because I spend quite some time setting up
everything (APC, memcache...)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Great conversation. Thanks for all of the information.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I'd be interested in your thoughts about Acquia's new DevCloud
offering. It seems comparable to what is being discussed (at $150/month),
allows multiple sites, and has what looks like great controls for developers,
new and experienced.<BR><BR>

<DIV><BR></DIV>We've been using Linode - they've been great. They also
have some great scripts that you can use to provision your
hardware.<BR><BR><A href="http://linode.com"
target=_blank>http://linode.com</A><BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Bill</BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Agreed. I can't recommend <A href="http://linode.com"
target=_blank>linode.com</A> highly enough. </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Their support is amazing, and I doubt you'll find a negative review
from anyone in the OSS community.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You don't get cpanel with fantastico, et al (but you can install them
yourself) - and a 4Gb RAM / 128Gb HDD server, + 1.6Tb trf is only
$160 p/m. You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra
fee, or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4
processor Xen instances on <A href="http://linode.com"
target=_blank>linode.com</A>, along with shared, mirrored, drives. I
had a look at OVH, and they do look really impressive - but at the
price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those
specs.</DIV></DIV><BR>--<BR>[ Drupal support list | <A
