We were hosting customers of Joyent in 2006-2008. They were fantastic. I remember having a technical issue and talking directly to the CTO, who was most helpful.
Before AWS launched, Joyent (in my opinion) had one of the best hosting services. We ran everything on them, and especially liked Zones as a feature.
Separately, no one has mentioned that Joyent also had a full web application framework at one time (mail, calendar, etc.) that competed with the nascent Google GMail offerings. Joyent EOL'd back around 2010 if I recall correctly, but technically it was an impressive accomplishment.
