I don&#x27;t mean to diss your experiences clearly softlayer worked for you in your environment but I&#x27;m honestly shocked to see Softlayer suggested here at all.<p>We just finished trying to set up some servers in softlayer and it was thee biggest pain in the ass we&#x27;ve had to deal with in a LONG time. <i>Everything</i> required a support ticket.<p>And that&#x27;s if you&#x27;re willing to overlook their reputation. Just Google &quot;softlayer spam&quot; and you&#x27;ll see what I mean right away.<p>Glad that it worked for you. But wow... Never again.
