Hey, thats good to know another person on vpsfarm. We are on it too. And I think they provide excellent value for money, esp we spending from our own pocket, definitely its a service I would recommend any DIY kinda guy to bootstrap.
If anyone needs to learn more, send me a mail from my profile, will be happy to tell you what I know. (disclaimer: I don't get paid by vpsfarm for these stmt).
I am not sure what your purpose with this poll, but I don't think the results are indicative of anything. It depends what stage they are in.
We are a startup, bootstrapping with our own money, and went private beta about 2 weeks back, so we are on one VPS, where db, 2 RoR apps, transcoding, blog, mail, queueing server, storage, everything on it. Its far from real scenario, where (hopefully) some day we'll be serving thousands, if not millions, of users.
I am not sure what your purpose with this poll, but I don't think the results are indicative of anything.
The poll results, being voluntary response convenience sample results, would of course tell us nothing reliable about what most start-ups, or the typical start-up, does for hosting its services.
But the poll gets us talking, and the forced choice among the responses gets me thinking about what other choices I have. And your response about what issues a person has to think about when making these choices is a very helpful response to the poll.
We have 10 EC2 servers. We use a front end proxy for traffic management, and multiple App servers behind it. We have 2 db servers (master and slave), a couple memcached servers, and a mail server.
