... dedis are cheaper if you are rightsized. If you are wrongsize they just plain crash and you may or may not be able to afford the upgrade.

I was at Softlayer before I was at AWS and what catalyzed the move was the time I needed to add another hard drive to a system and somehow they screwed it up. I couldn't put a trouble ticket it to get it fixed because my database record in their trouble ticket system was corrupted. The next day I moved my stuff to AWS and the day after that they had a top sales guy talk to me to try to get me to stay but it was too late.
