Cloud support would be nice.&nbsp; I have a twisted app(a web service to implement a game server for Second Life) that is likely to have a rough scaling curve with bursty usage.&nbsp; Atm I&#39;m running it on a dedicated virtual box with plans to go to EC2 and then multiple EC2s, but a single cloud instance would be better. I&#39;ve already got a decoupled permanent datastore which interfaces to SDB for a cloud should work from that angle too.<br>
<br>What would twisted look like on a cloud?&nbsp; Would the main reactor still be single threaded with threads being distributed or would we have to rearchitect for multiple main reactors by port or path? <br><br>Andy Fundinger<br>

Might be great for some folks, twisted is really easy to install, cloud
support would be very nice.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

The main project I&#39;m working on is a bit of all of the above.&nbsp; A game
with chat, web interfaces for various things, also a custom client is
in the works.&nbsp; Still in very early development right now so I&#39;m hosting
it privately, when it goes public I&#39;ll definitely be looking for
something.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

  <pre>And lastly, what hosting companies are your favorites? Where would you
be happiest, if they supported Twisted? Would you consider switching
to a hosting provider that *did* support Twisted?

Personally I *really* like Slicehost.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.slicehost.com" target="_blank">www.slicehost.com</a>&nbsp; I&#39;m sure
everyone has their favorite though.<br>
