VPS Comparison between Slicehost and Prgmr: is an $8 instance as good as a $20 one?

I just wish that there was an easy way to switch... are there any tools to help automate the process?

This depends on the availability of a suitable API. Unfortunately, providers haven't decided on a common one yet. Sun were working on one (http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2009/03/16/Sun-Cloud), although perhaps other providers will end up just cloning Amazon or Slicehost's.

Check out Cloudkick (A YC company) for migration between Amazon and Slicehost.

I think something that is more simple than the ec2 api and the sun api will win. Yeah, I think cloudkick has some good ideas.

I'm working on it. I'm trying to talk the cloudkick people into helping me out; they look like they have an awesome system.
