Ask HN: Windows Cloud Servers - War Stories

8 points by singer ↗ HN
I'm thinking of setting up a Rackspace or Amazon Windows cloud server for the first time. Do you have any war stories to share about either? How about the good things?

I've been using RackSpace Cloud Servers for over a year now and am happy with their service. I only run 1 server, the smallest instance, but have hosted multiple sites without any issues. When I heard of Amazon's Micro instance I decided to give it a shot but I did not have a good experience. Seemed much slower than my RackSpace equivalent and so I switched back to RackSpace.
