Is there a reason to dismiss the question like this? It's a matter of probability: This site just appeared out of thin air as far as most of us are concerned. Yeah, Rackspace could go out of business tomorrow. But that's a hell of a lot less likely -- and more likely to happen with some sort of warning -- than a brand new provider going under (since we all know what the odds are for new businesses).
If the OP is "going for the Digital Ocean of physical machines," perhaps he should be clearer about his intentions. I personally don't think that's a reasonable assumption based on the information he's provided.
- toomuchtodo 13y ago> Is there a reason to dismiss the question like this? I'm not dismissing your questions. I'm arguing that listing information on your website doesn't mean you're any more or less capable at handling the issues you're described. I've seen <10 people startups succeed against destructive technical challenges, and I've seen +$500 million companies completely fail on the most simple problems. QA/FAQs aren't the deciding factor (although they provide signaling to clients, both current and potential).
- primitivesuave 13y agoI have to agree with you here as you make an excellent point about QA/FAQs. It's entirely possible that the people behind this know exactly what they're doing, but from a client perspective it is a bit sketchy that there is no information other than server specs.
