Deja Vu: New VPS up and running

Well we're back up and running yet again. Unfortunately the VPS Land experience was very bad! first they took 50 hours to set up our server, and then after less than a day it had crashed and was not accessible or rebootable. They took more than ten hours to respond to tell me that we needed to upgrade to more RAM.

We're now on VPS Link which I've set up and used before for a client and found it to be very good. I've had to remove our memcached server since it uses too much RAM (which is probably what helped to totally crash the last VPS).

  • See OD/VPS for details about the VPS and RAM/Swap-space issues.
