rackspace.

I have heard a lot of feedbacks of them, so I suppose they are believed the best cloud web host.

Well, I have found a cloud-hosting-providers(Dot)com for finding top cloud hosting companies. Hope this will help you.

I would prefer RackSpace to all, I've never heard about them but have heard many many good stuff about them from partners and other cloud hosting providers.

[mkhmer]

I would say SoftLayer is the best I have ever meet during my 10year hosting experience ...

Cloud servers or cloud web site hosting?

I know Rackspace's cloud servers don't utilize failover which would be a big downside in my opinion.

[consciousmedia]

try cloud.bg in Europe.

DediPower Managed Hosting are launching their Cloud on Monday 19th July 2010. However i believed its aimed at those who currently have or require multiple virtual servers as opposed to a single VPS.

Im currently using rackspacecloud.com for my VPS. Really great performance even on the cheapest packages. Only thing i wish they provided was a virtual load balance, or the ability to move IP addresses between the VPS instances.

I have heard some good reviews for the rackspace cloud hosting so might be they will be right option.

[SI_Support]

I have heard that Softlayer is one of best cloudhost company.

Softlayer's cloud is reliable, but the I/O performance of their cloud SAN is really low. Even standard single I/O operations (running rsync, copying a large file, performing a database dump) tend to stall the server in a massive IO wait.

As for the best cloud host? I don't think there is a "best" cloud host. Each cloud has its own unique blend of characteristics. A cloud that might work well for one application might prove insufficient for another. It's worth doing the following:

• Look at the list of features each cloud offers and determine if it meets the need.
• Get a test account or a temporary instance and benchmark your software on each cloud.

Speculation is good, but nothing beats a real test.
