VPS hosting

I’ve been wanting to try Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting for a while now and I finally found some time this past weekend to get going.

After looking into my options (and there are lots of them) I decided to go with Linode. It has a good balance of features and cost, and there are a number of very positive reviews online. The biggest drawback is that you have to take care of your own backups, but I can deal with that. I suspect that automated backups are coming since several customers have requested this feature.

I’m on a month-to-month plan for now so I can test it out. If I like what I see I’ll think about migrating all of my shared hosting from A2 to Linode.

    Good choice. I’ve been using Slicehost for over a year now and they are also very good.
