From what I can tell, SoftLayer's offerings are similar and the prices are better when compared to Rackspace Cloud. $99 at SoftLayer gets 250GB of storage and 2000GB of bandwidth while it gets only 50GB of storage and 500GB of bandwidth at Rackspace Cloud. "Utility billing is essential for any Cloud platform and something else you will not find from a VPS provider. You pay for your server instances on a per hour basis, so if you only need an instance for a certain amount of days/weeks that is all you pay for." SoftLayer does this, although they call each instance a "CCI" (cloud computing instance) instead of VPS.
