I think they have been around for two years, and currently offer the best deal out there. If someone knows of a cheaper solution let me know. As far as reliability, I have been very happy with the cloud environment. I have not seem many outages for asp.net on Mosso (2 in the last year), however their php/mysql servers are a different story. Cloud hosting is a complicated environment, however ASP.net appears to work great in that environment. The problems I had with mosso so far, is when they move from a full trust to a medium trust environment. A lot of the old asp.net code was written for full trust. A dedicated server you would not have this issue. Mosso currently has DirIO creation bug, which from I understand this will be patch in Jan or Feb of 2010. The other problem I discover is Mosso has not upgraded the server clusters to SP1 yet, due to customers old asp.net application breaking. If you want to use LinqToSql on Mosso you need to open a ticket to be move to an asp.net SP1 cluster. Dedicated server would not have this problem. I am not sure which hosting is cheaper, we were paying more before moving 50 sites to Mosso. I look at cloud hosting companies it appears Mosso is the cheapest. I do like having a cluster of computers. The sites appear load faster, and if one server goes down the site keeps running just like a web farm.
