Look for one with an uptime guarantee and good customer service. Most have a 30-60 day money back guarantee as well, so you may need to use that if what you get isn't what you expected.
- lsc 17y agoUptime guarantees are rarely worth the paper they are printed on. (and usually they aren't even printed on paper.) Slicehost has no money back guarantee. Linode refunds your 'lost time' (which is fairly standard in this industry.) Were I you, I would completely ignore SLAs and uptime guarantees. the inconvenience downtime causes you will hurt you far more than any reasonable refund can make up for, and the reputation damage hurts us (the provider) far more than any reasonable refund would as well, so really, for a 'getting started' plan, the SLA should be about the last thing you look at.
