Depends how you define cloud :)
If you just need a virtual machine (to get rid of the hardware
headache) to run your qmailtoaster then you can choose whatever
service provider suits your needs in terms of cost, support, SLA and
so on. Googling a bit should find you easily quite many options. Ask
me privately, if you need recommendations for service providers in
Finland :)
If what you want is unspecified number of instances of VMs that scale
to whatever needs that can be centrally managed your options are a bit
more limited. Microsoft has Azure, but they probably don't offer the
possibility to run CentOS :) The other big player is Amazon S2 which
should offer CentOS. Have never used it myself, but I've heard mostly
positive comments about it. As I am no cloud expert, perhaps someone
else can enlighten us if there exists any serious competition for
Amazon?
Best,
Peter
