I’ve been helping a friend set up a simple website (using WordPress of course), and it’s the first time I’ve used Joyent’s shared accelerators for web hosting. I’m just getting started, but I’m impressed by how sophisticated and professional the solution looks without losing how approachable and open TextDrive is known to be.
Recommended by friends in the open source community, I’ve hosted this site and a few other low traffic sites for friends with TextDrive since near the end of 2005. TextDrive and Joyent became one around the same time.
The TextDrive shared hosting experience has been good, but I also don’t generally expect much from shared hosting. I’m optimistic about this cloud computing thang though.

I was lucky enough to sign on with TextDrive as a “VC” when Dean and Jason first fired it up; it’s been nothing but good times since, including the Joyent Shared Accelerator I’m on right now.
