The slicehost with the most
January 20th, 2008
I can’t emphasize how much I love slicehost, which is the VPS that this site is hosted on. They have an absolutely fantastic knowledge base and really simple tools that make setting up your own VPS a snap. For example, creating a fresh environment takes about 30 seconds from start to finish, at which point you can login as root and start setting things up.
I finally settled on ubuntu 7.10 as the distro for my slice, but I noticed they’ve started offering archlinux, which as it’s what my home server runs made it a tempting choice, but the wealth of information out there for setting up an ubuntu or debian server is just too invaluable to pass up.
This blog is running mephisto on a thin cluster fronted by nginx, which means it should be pretty snappy. I might blog about how to set that all up at some point, but it’s already been done so many times before that it’s probably not worth it.
