Up to now, the only way has been to trust the vendors claims or to sign-up to the services and test them yourself.

		<description><![CDATA[PaaS is an acronym for Platform as a Service.

PaaS is an outsourced service offering in which a service provider hosts all the infrastructure services that you are likely to need, such as database management, application serving, development environment, workflow and security. Using these services, you can either develop your own business system or deploy a ready-built one.

Typically, the infrastructure will be delivered using virtual infrastructure which allows the service provider to better utilise hardware and hence offer the service at a lower cost than the traditional ‘host your own servers’ method.
