If you’re reading this, that means the server move has been successful so far. We have decided to stop running our own dedicated servers, and switch to Cloud servers instead. John is now using Amazon EC2, and I will be using Rackspace Cloud. (and yes Gary, I used your referral code – thanks for your help in discovering Rackspace Cloud!)
Rackspace’s service is extremely basic – you don’t get root access, just a web interface – but for basic hosting needs, it is fine. If all you use is Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP, then it is totally fine. Just a bit of a headache dealing with archives and database importing.
Once this move goes through, I will begin moving all the other sites I have. Then I guess I’ll be selling some Dell servers, because I won’t be needing them any more!
The best part of this: Not having to worry about another hardware crash.
