Re: Joyent cancels lifetime hosting in October. New host recommendations?
@JimJoe – If you’re referring to Gandi’s “Simple Hosting” on PaaS structure, it does exactly that; you create a single account and can host multiple Virtual domains underneath it, just like Joyent provided. They haver servers in both the US and France, so you have you’re pick of location and currency. :) According to Gandi
That’s what I would be moving to if Dean/TextDrive hadn’t come back into the picture.

Re: Joyent cancels lifetime hosting in October. New host recommendations?
@Destry – I would have done the same i.e move to Gandi since I have my domains registered there. But it is not so simple with Gandi, for example it is not easy to perform certain tasks like cron jobs or adjust php.ini (as far as I know). Otherwise it appears to be a great service.

Avoid anything running Plesk like the plague. We have it only both our web servers and if anything goes wrong, it’s usually down to Plesk screwing around with the config files or it doing a bad update.
+1. The complexity and fragility of it boggles my mind.
I’m running a Media Temple (DV4) for most of my stuff. It’s Plesk-powered, and I’ve become accustomed to its foibles, but it does the job for Textpattern right out of the gate.

Ok, so when optimism proves naive, choose plan B

A propos Joyent, I just read this – looks like one of the Joyent devops downed a whole datacenter with fat fingers. Yikes.

Could have been worse. Like cancellation of their lifetime accounts.
