I was evaluating Redis Cloud at work, but this gives me real pause. This reflects very poorly on Garantia Data.

Any suggestions for other hosted Redis services people like?

I work for RedisGreen - a different take as we do dedicated servers and focus on analytics/monitoring. Feel free to ping me with any questions. bpo at stovepipestudios.com

We understand how you got this impression. We do hope that after the dust had settled it is clear that the decision to shut down myredis.com was not ours to begin with. Aside from obvious reason of growing our business, the acquisition was partly put in place to provide a community of existing Redis user with a reliable and proven solution that they can start using immediately. Do note that we offer a 30-days money-back guarantee existing myredis.com customers if they try our service and are unhappy with it for any reason. Those who aren't myredis.com users and wish to test/use our offer are more than welcome to sign up for any of our services including, of course, the Free plan.

If you'd like to open a direct channel to us and discuss this (or any other matter for that matter), please drop us a line at info@garantiadata.com

If you want no frills, low cost, you can fire up a Dotcloud Redis instance pretty easily.

If you really want low cost and no frills, just run redis locally.

I still don't understand the point of third party redis - I'm not aware of a service that is more lightweight and CPU friendly than redis.
