If you're looking for something with some power off the bat (which it doesn't sound like you are), Amazon's EC2 (http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) is amazing. If you start there, you can stay there right up to the point that you're bigger than amazon.com :) It has the same disadvantages of slicehost or

Yes, you can load balance between slices, AND you can pool your bandwidth between them (new Slicehost feature). @NoviceSortof: Yes, I am running a Hardy install with 256 MB. My typical 'top' breakdown looks like: - 55% Apache (prefork) - 10% nginx - 5% mysql - 5% postgres - 5% et al. So m

(ROSS) you say 256 RAM but I'm curious if you are running Ubuntu server or some other distro? Is 256 RAM sufficient for Ubuntu or should one allow for more headroom? I'm leaning towards the Slicehost or Lincode type solution. Because in the past with frameworks and platforms we have learned the

I'll chime in for Slicehost. I have the 256 plan and it's great. A few notes: 1) It is a time sink to set it up, but they have many tutorials online (publicly available) that do a great job of holding your hand if you aren't a Linux guru (like I'm not). 2) You'll want to fiddle with the Apache

I'm currently running 2 personal sites on a 256MB slice at Slicehost and each one takes about 30MB with one dedicated mod_wsgi daemon process (and perhaps a couple of MBs more for servicing static files through Apache and the database connection). So depending on the size of your application, a 25
