After hearing about Slicehost at last night's PHP MeetUp, I was just about to Google Rackspace when I found your article on the Mosso blog. Will compare the two and maybe call it a day. Couldn't be better press for them. One log in and scalable not-expensive usage?...awesome! Thank you so much for this!

So far I have moved 1 of 7 so i'm just getting started. The tech support is top notch - Matt and another technician have gone out of their way to help me with things that other hosting providers would not even think about. I have a SaaS company so uptime and performance are the most important things I have been looking for - Mosso offers both of them. Heck, this thing might just be scalable, too. ;) Snipe: Great article - I barely missed your REF-SNIPE promo code...ugh!

If you have any other questions, I'm happy to help. And I'll mention your suggestion about adding content around it to Mosso as well. I didn't even read any of their account info, so I didn't notice it was lacking. I went straight to trusted friends who had been using them, so I sorta skipped the website content stuff.

I've had to move several very large dbs over to Mosso, including ones with millions and millions of rows of data. Naturally, phpMyAdmin can't handle databases that large, and like you, I'd normally have used ssh to import it. The work around with mosso is to upload your sql dump, pop into the chat within your admin control panel, and give the tech on duty your db credentials (its an SSL encrypted chat) and the path location of your db dump. I've had to do this several times now (and several more to go, as I'm not done migrating everything yet) and every time, the tech on duty has taken care of it immediately. I've worked with Charles and Matt in tech to do this at least 10 times already, and they've been outstanding every time. Heh – sounds like you were talking to sales and not tech.
