Perhaps next time you can circle back with follow-up data. You said you would update the post after your call, but you failed to do so. Perhaps next time you can circle back with follow-up data.

They get a lot of things right (fast servers and support availability), but they also have a lot of service/support issues (much like their parent Rackspace). Just last week I had to deal with three techs and wait 2 weeks for a resolution when they accidentally set up two authoritative FTP servers for one of my domains. Their recent decision to turn hit count metering on for their existing customers lost them some users, and I for one have lost my trust in them. Mosso is a great idea, executed well enough, but with some oddities in management and execution that make it difficult to stand by. and I can’t say I would recommend them.

What we need is a fast, reliable compute cloud. There are few of those, especially for the .NET platform. With this pricing model, they are shifting focus to high value request sites like enterprise applications and subscription based SaaS providers and away from static content sites like home pages that directly generate little revenue. I'm looking forward to the CloudFS offering. S3 is good, but I'd rather have it all at Mosso and we will save money on bandwidth. I've written more about in my blog post: <a href="http://www.qrimp.com/blog/blog.Mosso-CloudFS.html">Mosso CloudFS</a> I know a lot of customers are disappointed with the request pricing metric, especially those with mostly static content, but there are lots of options for hosting static content on the net.

Also, MySQL DB connectivity often dropped. They responded relatively quickly but outages were too frequent to justify staying with them.
