Hi,<p>My company has been burned recently by Flexiscale and GoGrid, having long outages and data corruption. We need a scaleable hosting provider for our windows and linux environments. Amazon do not offer windows yet, so we are at a bit of a loss of who to try next. Our clients are disappointed with the outage times we have had, which have been unacceptable really, Flexiscale was over 1 week outage with our servers corrupted and data lost. GoGrid corrupted our database server. I was wondering if anyone can suggest other providers? We are a SME so 3tera's applogic is out of our price range.<p>Any suggestions would be welcome,<p>Regards<p>Mark
For your Linux servers you might try SliceHost: <a href="http://www.slicehost.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.slicehost.com/</a><p>Note: I have not used them, but will probably use them in the near future for an enterprise I have in mind. You can probably call them and ask for references, or cull references from their blog: <a href="http://www.slicehost.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.slicehost.com/blog/</a>
Amazon has said that they will offer Windows Server on EC2 this fall, see <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/windows/" rel="nofollow">http://aws.amazon.com/windows/</a><p>Microsoft will also announce a cloud platform at PDC. I assume that it will be for hosting .NET code which may not be want you need.
