I've got a bunch of side-projects, each with a non-trivial database (dozen gigs or so each), and I want to consolidate hosting providers. What do you recommend, and why?
I've looked at AWS, and I'm not sure I trust their EBS volumes. I've looked at NearlyFreeSpeech, but their data storage rates ($10/GB/mo) are far too high. I've looked at Heroku, but all the add-ons get pretty expensive. I've looked at renting a plain dedicated server, but not sure I'm ready to handle backups and such.
I don't have much experience in this, so please correct my assumptions where wrong.
