MOSSO ADDS CLOUD SERVERS AND CLOUD FILES OFFERINGS.

Mosso just announced they are going to be offering cloud servers at $10.95 / Month.  That is about half of the cost of of the competition.  This cloud service is based off their acquisition last year of Slicehost.   It will be interesting to see how similar this offering is to Slicehost.  They have a good reputation for excellent customer service, so hopefully they will keep this up. What else was interesting was they have updated Jungle Disk to support Cloud Files.  The cost currently only includes the monthly storage cost and there is no cost for data transfer.  That would make the price much lower than storing files in Amazon S3 through Jungle Disk.  The cost for direct use of Cloud Files though does include fees for data transfer. Update: I just realized that the cost of Cloud Servers does not include data transfer.  They charge $0.08 / GB for bandwidth in and $0.22 / GB transfer out.  If you assumed 50 GB in and 100 GB out that would add $26 to the total cost.  So it is not as competitive as I originally thought.
