If they're small enough, I'll self-host. Cable modem has enough bandwidth and servers are cheap, but admittedly can be a pain to administer yourself.
I recently looked around at 3rd parties and Rackspace's "cloud" offering looked competitive, depending on your needs.
BTW, you really should list your platform. For example, you have way more choices for PHP hosting than for Java/JVM.
- lsb 15y agoAh, thanks. I'd never self-host. I have a mid-size Sinatra.rb app that's getting subjected to the Slicehost reboot which is causing the desire to consolidate, but I've written in PHP and Haskell. I can be pretty flexible language-wise, as long as it runs in Unix.
- liquidcool 15y agoI've no experience with Slicehost or their reboot policy. I'm guessing they won't let you put a graceful shutdown/startup script in the relevant /etc/rc* directory? Seems like they should have some hook for that if the servers reboot/fail that often. Assuming that even solves your problem.
- lsb 15y agoNo no, they're turning off their old datacenter (afaict) and they're fully integrating with Rackspace who bought them a few years ago. They've been superstable.
