Use Amazon's EC2 offering or Rackspace Cloud Servers Rackspace now stores all images on cloudfiles, so they will be there if you turn off/delete the server (this was not the case for the first 1-2 years of their cloud server offering). EC2 also stores an unlimited amount of images. Spinning up a new server will give you a new IP Address everytime on Rackspace's Cloud, and new public DNS address on EC2. If for any reason this is an inconvenience, you should use amazon's Elastic IP, or for rackspace: DNS with a 60second TTL (zerigo.com?). You could also change the hosts file on the machine communicating with the test VPS. Another thing to consider is Price: Rackspace's entry level cloudserver starts @ $10/mo vs EC2's entry level @ around $40/mo. E Both EC2 and Rackspace have an API to automate deletion and creation etc.: | ||||
