> For my next project im thinking of going Joyent, as their storage seems more scalable.
One of my past clients used them (around when they merged with TextDrive). Their Solaris setup is a PITA if you're used to Linux or *BSD. If you set up a 25-cent swear jar, you'll probably be able to pay your hosting fees in quarters!
The other thing to realize is that Joyent slices scale vertically: a larger slice is just a larger piece of a very large Solaris box, and there's a limit to how big they can get. (Don't know if it's still true, but at the time, they also had no way of directly upgrading a slice "in-place").
You'd be better off figuring out how to scale your storage (preferably with redundancy) across multiple computers. Look into MogileFS or Hadoop's DFS.
