  Both look like good sites. I've seen Linode before. Like I said webfaction is pretty good but I definitely get an unexplained slowing with my shared server sometimes and I'm not doing anything intensive. Just a simple web app like basecamp with a few beta testers.

  linode here too, but I've heard decent things about hetzner.de which works out much better from a price perspective if you want more resources.

    So you're hosted in Germany? Is your target audience in the US? Prices are great in Europe in general, but the latency between US West coast and Hertzner was too high for us. They also had network issues at some points with a lot of TCP retransmission, that did not help.

  linode is awesome and recently added guides. the founders are awesome (have more positive things to say about linode founders than slicehost's)

    Good to know. The prices look pretty good as well. I haven't used them but looks like I'm going to try. This part from their features list definitely helped: Clone your Linode Clone an entire configuration or just the images you select to another Linode. Combine with the IP failover feature and create your own high-availability cluster.

  And you're happy with Rackspace Cloud/Sites? We're looking to use them.

  Linode gets the maximum rating from me as well, wonderful people, amazing support, very pleasant control panels. Yup, Linode all the way.

  I recently looked at rackspace cloud but wonder what the appeal of it is in contrast to amazon? Pricing seems to nearly the same but I didn't like that rackspace doesn't let you scale the storage up independently.
