We've just moved a 2-3m pv a month site to Rackspace Cloud Sites. The more obvious candidate is the Cloud server version, both are good.
Price: good, but better is the ability to grow without hitting limits. You pay for what you use, but we came from a MediaTemple Nitro server ($750US/ mth) and I'd bet we'll save money now. Likewise though, most of our static files are now S3/ Amazon Cloudfront hosted. On Oct 10, 4:53 pm, Dylan Jay <d...@pretaweb.com> wrote: > I'm using rackspacecloud now.
