Performance:
- PhoenixNap SecuredCloud http://www.phoenixnap.com/ http://www.phoenixnap.com/ (US-West, US-East, Amsterdam) [VMWare based, spinup time is about 45 seconds, offers every imaginable feature for large production environments, enterprise firewall, f5 load balancing, 100% uptime SLA]
Value:
- Digital Ocean https://www.digitalocean.com/ https://www.digitalocean.com/ (US-East, Amsterdam) [KVM/QEMU based, spinup time is under a minute, decent 'basic' API]
As a current customer of both companies, we use Digital Ocean to host our company VPN and development nodes, and PhoenixNAP to host our production sites. (Bandwidth at PhoenixNAP is billed @.05- per gb, very competitive compared to EC2 especially considering they use exclusively premium bandwidth)
