Hi folks,
I'm curious to know if anyone knows of any good Cloud server providers
that support FreeBSD. The two that I am most experienced with, Rackspace
Cloud and EC2, do not natively support FreeBSD (I assume this is because
of the Xen compatability issues). Terremark does, but isn't an option for
me.
I currently have a few boxes at rootbsd.net, which works great, but isn't
really an advanced Cloud provider - server launches aren't instant, and
there's no API.
Thanks for any input! I may end up going with Linux CentOS on Rackspace
Cloud for now (though some people have mentioned that other distributions
are more related to the FreeBSD type of thinking and have the ports
collection?).
Thanks,
-Matt
