I understand what you're saying about the downtime and it's good to know it wasn't related to the technology in use. I've used heroku (love it) and use anywhere from 1 to 25 ec2 instances all the time. I love cloud computing, but it's in the early stages... i'll give poolparty another look. Thanks for the feedback.

PoolParty is under active development and has been since February with production-ready sites. Had PoolParty been hosted on a vps or other infrastructure at the time, the site would have been down anyway. Your comment on the infancy of cloud computing as a hosting platform, although well conceived is misguided. Also, the PoolParty framework is aimed at reducing the cost, provisioning and management pains regardless of usecase for the framework. However, you should check out PoolParty, Heroku, EngineYard, Amazon, SliceHost, Rackspace, etc. etc. for other cloud providers whose entire businesses are modeled after the cloud as a hosting environment.
