DreamHost, SliceHost, and Heroku. Didn't know which poll choice to select so I went with "Other" :|

Wasn't there some Microsoft thing?

Azure. https://www.microsoft.com/azure/default.mspx I haven't looked at it in depth so I don't know how it compares to the offerings listed above. My guess is that it's closer to AppEngine - you write to the MS stack and deploy on their infrastructure, the details of that infrastructure are opaque to you.

That sounds about right. I write all my stuff on the Microsoft stack whenever I have a choice, and still I'm not at all excited about their Cloud offering. They really missed a great opportunity to dominate the space.

I use slicehost and AWS.

I wish AWS offers EC2 instances with less ram like 512mb and 1GB.

I was going to try Cloud Server from Mosso(http://www.mosso.com/cloudservers_pricing.jsp). But its outgoing bandwidth is too expensive for 22cents/GB.

Mosso has a slick suite offering. There is great potential here.

I have a bunch of servers with Amazon, a few with GoGrid and a couple personal ones with SliceHost(probably going to be switching to Linode soon).

Amazon + Scalr is by far my favourite.

AppEngine doesn't count?

It should. We use Amazon AND AppEngine. AppEngine for e-mails.

Last time I checked, this was against appengine terms of service, has that changed?

Nothing about it in the Terms of Service:

Also, nothing in the Program Policies. It just mentions no SPAM.
