Hello PLUG,<div><br></div><div>It was a pleasure meeting some of you the other day at Pita Jungle.  </div><div><br></div><div>Our application uses Flash and is database heavy. We are currently trying to decide which cloud hosting provider to go with, Amazon or Linode. This link does a great comparison. <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/mpeters/cloud-hosting-survey">http://www.slideshare.net/mpeters/cloud-hosting-survey</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>The state of our company:</div><div><br></div><div>-Our Linux/Sys Admin knowledge is limited and rudimentary</div><div>-Since our launch we&#39;ve had over 2000 students join and the user base is growing daily.</div>
<div>-Software development has 3 server environments; development, stage and live.</div><div>-Linode offers multiple IPs per server,  Amazon has 1 IP per server</div><div>  &gt; Multiple IP made it easy to add SSL certs to multiple environments</div>
<div>- Currently dev and stage are on Linode</div><div>- Currently live is on Amazon.</div><div><br></div><div>Do we move from Amazon to Linode or from Linode to Amazon? Which one will provide the scaling we need?</div><div>
<br></div><div>Thank you very much!</div><div><div><br>-- <br><font size="3"><div style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Vimal Shah, VP of Engineering</font></div>
