I don't mean to diss your experiences clearly softlayer worked for you in your environment but I'm honestly shocked to see Softlayer suggested here at all. We just finished trying to set up some servers in softlayer and it was thee biggest pain in the ass we've had to deal with in a LONG time. Everything required a support ticket. And that's if you're willing to overlook their reputation. Just Google "softlayer spam" and you'll see what I mean right away. Glad that it worked for you. But wow... Never again.

In about 4+ years using Softlayer, I didn't have a single problem with them. The bill at the end of the month was reasonable for the amount of servers and traffic, and even one time where an errant worker on our app generated terabytes of wasted bandwidth and our bill for that topped our monthly one, they figured out a way to make it go away by pooling out bandwidth from all the servers together. They could have easily forced us to pay it. I guess its all down to personal experiences, and mine was great.
