The host that I was using to host this blog decided last month (or at least I was told last month) to stop offering the VPS plan that I was using.  Because of this I started looking around for other options and I settled on www.rackspace.com.  I have been very happy with the process so far and I actually received a phone call from rackspace a couple minutes after I set up my account.

I love the fact that they charge based on time used like AWS but they don't have the odd sizing requirements.

I'm sure in the future I'll post something about how to set up various servers on rackspace.
