I am in the process of moving my rails app to Rackspace Cloud Servers. It offers three backup images for free, but it only exists as long as the associated server is around.

A 256 meg slice only costs $10. So it is actually a pretty good deal.

I was looking into Cloud servers recently. I think I will be going going with 1and1 Dynamic Cloud Server. 1and1 seem to have a better price than Rackspace, and you can change the Ram, CPU, and storage all independently. At Rackspace you had to scale both the Ram and your Disk space. How is your experience with Rackspace? Has any one else tried 1and1's Dynamic Cloud server?

I just got started with Rackspace, but they seem to be built on solid technology acquired from Slicehost.

I like the fact I can add new servers quickly and it has infrastructure support for failover and load balancing through shared IP.
