Great questions. We are using the cloud server to host a low traffic webpage for a branch of our company. We started off with SQL express, as recommended by the web development firm. If needed, we will upgrade to SQL Standard.

Rack Space is very good about their hosting. MY big question is if you are using a Windows 2008 R2 server why not use SQL Standard Edition instead of Express?, also with 1GB ram SQL/Windows is going to get quite cramped for memory resources, and your application etc etc might not really run optimally? Also, what type of Data is going to be hosted on the server ( PCI? PII/PHI) has your management/security folks vetted the risk in compliance to the federal regulations for the data that will be contained within? Z Edward E.

We need to move our cloud server hosting to a new company. We need to run a Windows 2008 R2 server, with SQL express, 1gb ram, and 10gb disk space. I have looked at a few, Server Intellect, Rack Space, and Amazon S2. Any real work experiences? Any other recommendations?
