Something to keep in mind regarding the difference between the "top 1 million" lists from Quantcast and Alexa: Quantcast's is based on US traffic only. Alexa's is global. You're probably aware of that, but I thought I'd point it out just in case. Hi Jay,

Great work as always.

Something to keep in mind regarding the difference between the “top 1 million” lists from Quantcast and Alexa:

Quantcast’s is based on US traffic only. Alexa’s is global.

You’re probably aware of that, but I thought I’d point it out just in case.

You'll find however that Linode match more of these criteria than, say, Joyent, which is commonly accepted as a cloud provider. I've had a lot of discussions with the cloud community over which of these is a "must have" and found no unanimous support for any of the three, individually. I've made a conscious decision to focus on IaaS and not measure PaaS. I took a stab at it in the past but for technical reasons it's more complex to measure. @Moshe, I roughly agree with your criteria.

To be honest, my requirement for a cloud providr would be: 1. Per usage payment (Monthly and even daily slices are too low resolutions) 2. Open APIs 3. Instant provisioning of resources Cloud Computing is yet just the next stage of hosting, but if we include VPS, why not including all other hosting providers? Keep Performing, Moshe Kaplan http://top-performance.blogspot.com P.S what about the PaaS platforms? Google App Engine? MS Azure? Salesforce.com Force.com? Hi Guy,

+1 for not including Linode.

To be honest, my requirement for a cloud providr would be:
1. Per usage payment (Monthly and even daily slices are too low resolutions)
2. Open APIs
3. Instant provisioning of resources

Cloud Computing is yet just the next stage of hosting, but if we include VPS, why not including all other hosting providers?

Keep Performing,

Adding another data set is excellent - adds serious credibility to the numbers. Good job. Adding another data set is excellent – adds serious credibility to the numbers.
