I'm sick of this 'cloud computing' bullshit already.

I adore Slicehost, and have a few servers with them, but if I hear that term one more time...


The bottom line is the bottom line: SliceHost lowered the prices of 2GB+ slices today.

I understand your frustration. That phrase has gotten as nauseating as "Web 2.0". However, they can say "cloud computing" as often as they like if I save $10 every few words.


Just wondering, How much would an equivalent have cost 2-3 yrs ago?


Competition in cloud computing.

Price race to the bottom here we come!

That's great news for everybody who's looking for cheap hosting.


I hope Slicehost doesn't confuse lower prices with their to-date high quality of support.


JungleDisk uses Amazon's S3...


FTA:

"JungleDisk used to rely on Amazon's S3 storage solution, but it will now also support Rackspace's new cloud storage solution."

It's right at the beginning...


I stand corrected and thank my corrector.
