Hi, I’ve been doing some research on you guys and want to upgrade my server for my business to something like your Cloud Server…but I want to manage basic aspects of it myself through my iPhone/iPad (I’m kind of always on the go!) – is that doable?

You pay for the support, not for the OS. If there is a problem with the OS that is supported by Redhat, you can call them and they will assist.

With Microsoft, you pay for both. You buy the OS, and then if you have a problem that requires you to call them, you have to pay for support as well.

Of course, if you install CentOS, then you’re getting a rebranded version of the exact same OS, but you don’t pay extra because you don’t pay for support.

Is there any intersect in terms of tracking between Analytics and Awstats?

How disappointing… I looked at Slicehost a number of times for the same reasons others had joined. Looks like I’ll have to look elsewhere now to get something comparable at the same, affordable packages Slicehost used to offer. Guess that’s what happens when you offer something successful though, the bigger guys eat up the smaller guys that provide a better service.

Comment on 'Redis for your slice?' by Nick

Yes, in some cases it makes sense. I have php session handler with Redis and it took less 2MB (yes only 2 megabytes).

Honestly I am still not sure if PHP is speed now, but at least it does not do files in /tmp or /dev/shm

There are lots of other tasks that require less 5-10MB such global counters and so on.

I had joined Slicehost for the same reasons that others had joined Slicehost. Rackspace has some big name clients like Facebook and bunch of other corporate companies, so I don’t doubt their quality of service. I regularly recommend Rackspace to my managers at work (a state university). However, when it comes to my own personal development server, I had done some careful researched before deciding on Slicehost several years back. The biggest factor was the reasonable pricing. Rackspace’s Cloud Server pricing scheme is too Machiavellian for me. It looks good on front and for pea-sized development traffic, but once you start becoming serious with Internet traffic, you better expect to see your cash start flying to Rackspace’s bank with rapidity. Like I said, I think Rackspace is good for corporations, not for small developers like me.

Are you using the Android or iPhone app, or your own application directly using the API?

I just get an error claiming the app can’t communicate with slicehost. It suggests I check my network connection or API host settings.

Is the default host incorrect? I tried both WiFi & a 3g connection, which are both working for everything else.

Caveat: I only enabled API access on the account about 15 minutes ago.
