Dude these guys should gift me free servers. I've referred at least a dozen people to them since our launch. Until their great service continues I won't complain.
We're trying to decide whether or not to set up a box at our place for our initial launch or to use a remote host. Looking at softlayer prices, it looks like things can add up pretty quickly. What is your experience with the costs - does it make sense given the low expense of boxes and bandwidth? Do they have a good scaling up path?

We have two boxes with them. We've few ideas about scaling. I am personally of the view that when we have a scaling problem, we'll address it without worrying too much about it beforehand. It can easily bog down your startup in calculations that will likely mean very little when you do actually have a scaling problem. Having a rough idea in your mind is a good idea IMO.
I believe this is the advice that delicious founder gave too in his writeup.

I would recommend getting a machine and getting acquainted with the process of shell access (if you are not comfortable without a UI)...also u can do some real benchmarking as far as the hardware and bandwidth is concerned ... I pay $179 for a very basic server and it is a great experience! It works better for me because I cannot host at home as I need a larger pipe for demos!!

#9http://www.webair.com/ - I've got a few servers with them, great service and prices. I can get you custom prices that aren't listed on the site; for example I've got a quad xeon 3ghz with dual SCSI 120gb drives, 4gb ram and 10mbps unmetered for 249/month.
