mosso.com

I know it's a bit rude to go discussing other hosting companies out there on VT's own forums, but I'm interested in the idea of mosso.com, and thought I'd open up the discussion.

For $100, you get a truely distributed hosting platform whose SLA promises 100% uptime, full windows/unix scripting support (both on the same site!), end-user support as a cheap add-on, and -get this- 80GB and 2TB of transfer.

I have to say, that sounds awesome. But 1) their control panel was built in-house and is a little low on features. 2) they've only been around for a few months, so the track record is short. But they're a Rackspace company and are using their network so at least that's rock solid.

I have a long relationship with VT, so I'm not about to jump ship, but I have to be completely honest when I say I'm considering moving my dedicated server to this platform. The idea of having access to a distributed and fully-scalable hosting platform just like google's is pretty darn appealing. Is this something that VT may offer someday?

lots of disussions out there like on webhostingtalk.com

no ssl (yet), very limited control panel, etc.

no custom name servers, you get mossos generic ones.

no ip addresses.

still new, does look promising, but hsphere is a bit more mature at the moment.

Yes Hsphere does give you a lot more features, but if you just need solid hosting and no thrills CP, then mosso is pretty good!!!
