I'm also using <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?570601" rel="nofollow">dreamhost.com</a> for some of my other sites. There the Joomila setup is a onclick installer. It works really well. But the app run in a safemode. /daniel @Kevin

If you're like me and have no experience with ssh command line tools, the farthest you'll get is setting up your instance, attaching a storage volume, and setting your elastic IP. Then you'll need someone to come in and do the rest. RackSpace Cloud Sites (formerly Mosso) has a great control panel (although you can't see hidden files like .htaccess) and 24/7 support (although they can't help with script support). Now for $100 a month you get a service that will automatically scale to meet demands of your site, but with RackSpace Cloud servers and Amazon EC2, you have to scale manually, or you'll have to set up other tools to scale for you. In my case, sorry to say, neither solution (Cloud Sites or EC2) has been problem free, as you will get endless errors trying to install Joomla extensions on RS Cloud Sites, and support won't/can't help. I'm staying with Rochen for now, even though data transfer speeds are less than ideal in Asia. Hope this helps some prepare for the move to the cloud.
