For that price range and application, you’re probably in need of slice host, of the rackspace cloud hosting option

Thanks, good research. I was wondering what the best deal is for less than $10? I’m looking for a scalable cloud for hosting standby (“warm failover”) sites for some of my customers. Just a place to keep a known-good copy of the code and latest database dumps, which can be quickly fired up and scaled to replace a downed/hacked site at another provider. The ideal price point for that would be $10 or less.

Hi, nice post. I also tried to compare some cloud hosting options. You’re right about apples and lizards . I tries to compare entry level cloud solutions and cheapest plans(EC2, Rackspace, ReliaCloud, Joyent). So if you’re interested, see http://sevcloud.blogspot.com/2010/05/cloud-hosting-price-comparison.html

- Michael thanks for the comment. I was wondering why there was no mention of CPU power!

- Mitch (Mr Norris), I’m doing a comparison for cloud computing (virtual servers).

Nice summary. It’s good to see users trying to do the apples to oranges (lizards) comparison of pricing, especially since GoGrid is on only provider to do RAM-based pricing (versus CPU). We chose the RAM-based billing model simply because it is a lot simpler to understand (you know how much RAM you have deployed…it’s harder to determine the amount of CPU cycles you might use…)

We do have a wiki page on the GoGrid site that does some brief comparisons between EC2 & GoGrid: http://wiki.gogrid.com/wiki/index.php/Billing_Model#Server.2FInstance_Price_Comparison

There is also some details on the Core allotments there. We also have some Technical FAQs that talk about Core bursting available: http://wiki.gogrid.com/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Technical_Specifications

Please be sure to check back with GoGrid over the next month or so as we will have some interesting new options available.

Thanks,
