Looking for PaaS providers recommendations

Question

I want to develop our new project using a PaaS provider. I'll be developing primary in PHP, but would like that the service can provide other languages too (and add-ons available too, like MongoDB, Memcached, redis, etc). I've seem some PaaS as PHPfog (and AppFog), dotCloud, orchestra.io, Red Hat's OpenShift, Pagoda Box, among others.

Of all of them, I think I like most dotCloud. But wanted to know of any reviews, recommendations and comparisons between some of the big players on PaaS.

What would you guys recommend?

Answer 1

Here is a series of blog posts that I have put together that compares most of the top PAAS providers. Most of my trials was using python, so I'm not sure how they compare with PHP.

Hopefully it helps.
