Looking for a Managed Cloud hosting provider - Windows application stack

SolusVM is only for VPS's and was bought out by OnApp a year or so ago.

We've found onapp itself (the cloud product) to be good (for KVM), like any software it has it's quirks, but their support is absolutely outstanding.

As for why we picked it, you could build out an Openstack system to essentially do exactly what OnApp does, but this does require a lot of man hours and development to essentially re-invent the wheel. We prefer having a dedicated company who's whole business revolved around cloud orchestration like OnApp doing this development stuff while we focus on what are good at, which is the infrastructure and management.

I realize they bought SolusVM - so it's inherited debt, but Solus has never had the best reputation - old bugs still remain unfixed etc. So i'm a bit wary of anything associated with the brand.

Makes sense to hand off the bits you can though. Openstack is also a pain in the ass to deploy, which is why alternatives like Cloudstack are gaining such traction.

OnApp's core product existed long before the SolusVM acquisition, I suspect they did it more to gain market share and upsell acquired customers onto their core product.
