apache solr as a service hosting [closed]

Question

are you aware of the best companies which provide apache solr AS A SERVICE? where i can simply upload (or edit via some web control panel) my index and config files for SOLR and simply start using it

i do not want to be breaking my head with any sort of server administration on tomcat

just update my index and config files... tell solr where to look for data to index (via data import handlers) and thats it just start using it

any sort of load balancing / mirrors would be like icing on the cake

price does not matter as its for mission critical apps

please do not suggest me to boot up my own servers on amazon or rackspace or xyz and then deploy solr on them and manage all the administration - because thats what i want to avoid in the first place completely

thanks in advance
