2gig Slices are here
Listen up ye RAM starved coders, the 2048slice has arrived. We mentioned the 2gig Slice on last week’s podcast and rolled them out over the weekend. This new package is in response to your demands, which began trickling in early this year and now are regular requests.
What might you do with a 2gig Slice?
- Upgrade your 1024slice and double storage, bandwidth and CPU time
- Use it as a big, bad database server
- Migrate apps from expensive dedicated servers
This will certainly help the 1gig folks who have been pleading for expansion options. And we feel this a real alternative for those running apps on dedicated servers, since you get a big chunk of CPU and RAM at a solid price. Might a 4096slice be around the corner? Hmmm ;)

2048 mb ought to be enough for anyone!

you guys truly rock. just make sure you have enough space for servers as a massive drift from dedicated servers is expected.

Congrats for a very good slice package! 2 Gigs should be enough… for now.
Still, how much CPU is allocated to a 2 Gig slice in comparison to the others?

could this handle zimbra?

Yeah 2gig should be a nice fit for Zimbra. I believe they recommend a minimum of 1gig RAM. I know we have a few folks running it on 1024slices. I have run Zimbra on 2gig machines and several hundred users without a problem.

4GB please (no, 2GB is not enough for everyone).

For my necessities it’s not enough. Can you give more space for the same price or it’s impossible.
