Slicehost

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with Slicehost, but it is a VPS solution that is affordable and very stable. Slicehost does not oversell system resources, so when you purchase a “slice” you aren’t getting some bogged down server loaded with virtual environments. I have been using them for many months now and I encourage people to sign up. I have 2, 512mb RAM Slices that have 20gb hard drives and each get 200gb of bandwidth each costing $38/mo. I run Pingdom on each one and there have only been a few occasions that I have been emailed about downtime and most of those were self inflicted. This website was taken down and just moved over, but since it has been on Slicehost the slice has been up 100%. One of my client’s has a Slice as well and his has not dipped below 99.9% for the past 3 months and the only times it went below that were for events unrelated to the virtual environment. All Slices are prorated so if you only use one for an hour the money would be refunded, or if you start a new one mid month you are only charged for the percentage of the month you used.

For those of you wondering what distros you can choose from:

• Arch 2007.08
• CentOS 5.1
• Debian 4.0 (etch)
• Fedora 8
• Gentoo 2007.0
• Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (dapper)
• Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy)
• Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (hardy)

If you decide to try them out, I would appreciate it if you used my referral link below.
