Word of warning: I used their $100/mo server cloud as my host for a while, but repeated downtime issues forced me to leave.

- midnightmonster 18y agoI run two such accounts starting several months ago. I'm infuriated by some quirks of their site management system,* but the reliability has been good. I think they've gotten better. * Especially: It's impossible to move a site from one account to another, or even from one client to another client in the same account, or even from no client to a client in the account. Impossible. They can't/won't even do it for you on the backend. Compare to telling the mail system that your mail is somewhere else. DNS you can do yourself, mail server you have to ask them to do if you want other mosso users to be able to send to you. That's a reasonable compromise IMO.
- jonmc12 18y agoYea, we've had problems too - I've consistently benchmarked their cloud sites servers with a load time 5-8x slower than other hosts.
- pj 18y agoThe difference is, other hosts will crash under load and you'll lose all your requests. Mosso is like a train and other hosts are motorcycles. It's slower but can haul way more tonnage.
- mikeyur 18y agoI was going to go with them back in the day but the biggest turn off was no SSH access. Seriously, wtf?
- wmf 18y agoKeep in mind that Cloud Sites and Cloud Servers are completely different; they were developed by different companies.
