Out of curiosity, why did you leave Softlayer for EC2? I am looking at hosting for a new venture. Past experience with EC2 pricing and performance has left me feeling a bit burned, so SoftLayer is among the options I am looking at.
- PaulHoule 13y agoEvery time I made a request to Softlayer it ended up in disaster. For instance, I requested an upgrade in the port speed on my machine and somehow the trouble ticket system got screwed up so I couldn't make any more requests. Later on I added a hard drive and they didn't make a partition table on it and somehow when the machine rebooted the superblock got overwritten and then I couldn't read the file system. Once I was able to reconstruct the superblock I moved the contents of that hard drive to S3 and didn't look back.
