Did you guys find a better cloud service, or did you roll your own in a datacenter somewhere?

We went with a managed hosting provider who built us a private cluster. Basically a private cloud. But that way we could get a dedicated SAN and move our DB servers out to dedicated boxes with whatever disk configuration we desired.

Interesting, I wonder if this becomes a trend as other startups and cloud customers discover these limitations and look for more custom solutions.
