The tech support says that their "cloud" technology is new and still working out problems.

Call it what it really is...an attempt to break into the shared hosting business through webtwoohifying your marketing lingo and building this site. Wow, I feel like its 2006 on this site. At least I didn't immediately see AJAX plastered somewhere. While your competitors are actually creating true "grid" and "cloud" offerings you try to confuse people by creating a traditional shared hosting offering and naming it "mosso" and then using the word "cloud" and trying the associate the two like there's some special relationship other than the one you're trying to cook up. Nice try, but we're smarter than that! I really hope your board and investors realize how stupid it is to focus on low value solutions when the big guys like Microsoft and Google are cramming that space with free solutions, and some paid ones which hold a lot of value which are marketed to the masses. I sense that this idea was cooked up by a MBA without a lot true operational and technical experience, with lots of pretty PPT's with upward arrows and market trends. Look for the deals in the hosting industry where there are multiple's of revenue being paid out in roll ups. You don't want to be diluting your core value (solutions over $500/month) with this crap.

I'm looking for a managed hosting/ email solution for 50+ client websites with 365/ 24/ 7 U.S-based English phone support and "restricted" client control panels. The only thing that's holding me back is when I search Google for Mosso feedback I come across many downtime, speed and reliability complaints. Is there a way to check the cloud's historical uptime? And is there any solution in the works that might cost more but provide the same features in an environment with more restricted resources, and therefore greater reliability? Hello,

If anyone is interested in sharing the cost of Mosso with me, I'd be willing to set you up with one (or a few if needed) of the client accounts for a good price. Just need a few people to help offset my costs. I'm thinking $10 for me, plus the set fees at Mosso (for example, $5 for 100mb of MS SQL, etc). I can be flexible with price depending on what you're looking for. I'm willing to set you up with unlimited email boxes and databases since they're free anyway!

Java has some unique properties that make it more challenging to provide in a cloud environment, but we feel confident we can create a compelling offering around it. We continually add new technologies: we started with PHP, then added .Net, and then added Ruby. In all likeliness, Java will be the very next major technology added to the platform. Meanwhile, parts of our site run on specialized Java servers because we use Java to power our provisioning systems and control panels. However, other parts (this blog for example) do indeed run on the PHP portion of our cloud infrastructure. @Scott: You’re right, Java Server Pages aren’t currently supported, though we are hard at work on an effort to add Java to our current lineup.
