For the specific Rails app we run at EngineYard, the fully-managed aspect is very attractive. I've got multiple apps and even multiple business ventures–so I can't be hands-on at the server level for everything.
Their staff is very pro-active and always available. I could go on, but my point was simply that EngineYard isn't just for vc-backed companies who need to burn some cash.
And, for the record, I also am a Slicehost and Joyent customer.

- callmeed 18y agoI'm not sure that managed hosting == consulting, but I suppose that's a fair way to look at it. Both Rackspace and Engine Yard have called me on the phone to alert me of potential problems. I'm not sure that's something a consultant would do.
