Is there anyone that have any experience from high-end European (pref.  
Nordic) VPS-providers with propositions similar to Joyent Accelerator,  
Railsmachine etc. (Rails installed out of the box).

We’re deploying a Rails-based Web Service that will only run for four  
weeks, but load will be peaking at approx. 300 req. / sec. during that  
time. Most request will be cached so it’s not that DB-intensive.  
Bandwidth and reliability are our main concerns, price is not.

Are there any European host “success-stories” such as Twitter/Joyent? It  
seems that none of the big US players have European datacenters, or am I  
missing something?

Best regards and many thanks,  
Gustav

I think Engine Y. is going to open in England, but I do not think  
it is up and running yet.
