Softlayer customer here, but not for long.
Some points need to be made about SoftLayer:
1. They have a fantastic network.
2. Point #1 is the only good thing that could be said about them.
They used to be an incredible company, but recently, following the TP merger, they have adopted a policy of capriciously shutting down customers without notice for arbitrary reasons that have nothing to do with TOS or AUP violations.
See the cases of SimpleCDN and SiteGround for examples of this.
Host with SL at your own risk.
- foobarbazetc 16y agoThere are plenty of good things to say about SoftLayer (and I'll say that they're the best dedicated host by a huge margin) -- including awesome hardware, great prices if you talk to sales, great network, and unrivalled automation in the portal. As per SimpleCDN, see http://twitter.com/#!/SoftLayer/status/15059240414609408 http://twitter.com/#!/SoftLayer/status/15059240414609408 I think there's more to that story than any of the other parties are letting on. Edit: But I agree with you that the TP merger has not been without issues. It's like things have ground to a halt over there, which is a real shame. Hopefully it's just a transient thing.
