I've been with them for a few months. The only issue to keep in mind
is clock drift. On my VM it was very bad - a few minutes over a
24-hour period. You have to use NTPd to keep the clock in sync. The
problem is that since ntpd doesn't have access to hardware, it can
only reset your kernel clock, keeping it somewhat accurate. The error
will still be plus or minus a few seconds. I submitted a support
ticket for this issue and that was the only solution we could come up
with. I don't have any experience with Xen, so I'm not sure if there
is something more that can be done on the host.
