Which has a pretty low limit on the database (100mb), no dedicated database, no persistent file system (there goes a large portion of PHP downloadable software), no monitoring and you have to retool the way your database works, using json, in a way that no other hosting service does.

I really like PagodaBox.
How long have you been using them? Browsing their site, this looks pretty sweet.
I've only used them for a couple non-professional sites, so I can't really say much for their performance. But they pretty much sold me on their admin interface and design.

#33A bit of a positive note here, I found that PHP Fog was more difficult to use than AppFog. I had some higher-level issues with Apache on the PHP version of AppFog that I brought up and were quickly addressed.
It might sting now, but those that used PHPFog might like AppFog more.

#34Argh. PHPFog was my goto place for self-hosting Wordpress blogs, is AppFog as simple?
Why wouldn't you want to host your WordPress blog at a Managed WordPress Host like ZippyKid, Web Synthesis or WP Engine?

#37Well done, a lot of people are going to be unhappy about this. I think it takes courage to take the pain upfront and concentrate on doing one thing really well.

EngineYard's Orchestra is one, though I'm not sure how far along they are with integrating it into their standard offerings.

Which should be getting a nice upgrade pretty soon.

#40I think the solution is to find another service. How can I trust appfog after this terrible surprise? Tomorrow I will receive an email. We are very sorry but appfog will be dicontinued.
