We tried Mosso out for a while about a year and a half ago, we were not impressed - frequents outages, performance and MySQL db connectivity issues. They responded relatively quickly but outages were too frequent to justify staying with them.

I hope their service level will improve. How does the pricing of this Mosso cloud compare with that of Amazon S3 cloud.

I couldn’t agree more with what Andrew Mitry said. We recently switched and while their prices are cheap and their concept is awesome - try getting scale-out ASP.NET and MS SQL for that price anywhere else - they are down all the time. Just while I was reading this, in fact, I got an email from my monitoring service at SiteUpTime that one of my sites was down. And it is still as I finish writing this. If Mosso doesn’t learn how to manage clusters better, we’re leaving.
