I agree, Amazon does to many things, and some does it in a horrible way,
like FPS, I registered my account to create a subscription payment button,
and to complete the registration they asked me login / password of my bank
account. What if they get hacked like Sony? Also they recently started with
a groupon-like service.

I only need somebody who provide me a server and that I can trust, and for
now Rackspace it seams the best choice, in term of price, service and
customer care.
