We started with Linode. We moved to AWS. Here's the main reason: you can't decouple disk space from RAM. So we paid thru the nose just to get more disk space. With AWS it's pay for what you need. That's the killer feature for us.

Sure but you could have also just moved to SoftLayer or any number of dedicated hardware providers for the same, cheap probably cheaper, result.

Which ones decouple disks from computer instances when it comes to paying?
