Just got back from the Rackspace Cloud event in Austin and was pleasantly surprised to say the least. Lanham (CEO) came by and talked with us at length... very genuine about delivering a fanatical experience for Mosso, and it's very evident to me that they're putting a lot of beef behind that statement. Looking forward to migrating to Mosso soon...

I was also suprised by how bad mosso was when I tried it a few months ago. Slicehost is such a great breath of fresh air compared to it.
Case in point: mosso's control panel rarely worked. Not once did I manage to see a list of my databases. But look at slicehost's control panel. It is by far the best I've seen, and believe me I've seen many.
So for now, color me skeptical.
I've been using mosso for about 6 months, and I am surprised that I haven't found something to bitch about yet. I've never experienced that database problem, but the few problems I have come across have been dealt with quickly through their 24/7 chat support.
