So, years ago I created a "slice" at Slicehost to run my personal website and have root on a box somewhere. A few years ago, Rackspace bought Slicehost and then about a year ago my VM was moved into the Rackspace managed site. Which has been working fine. In fact, my cost from slicehost to rackspace was cut in half because of the difference in rackspace's pricing model. So, i went from $20/month to $11 or so. But, that slice runs an older Gentoo and i can't seem to get it to upgrade with an emerge. To much stuff fails, i fought it for a while but gave up. Then I found this site: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing
For the same price i'm currently paying, $10/mo. I can triple my current specs. or for half the price, i can double my specs. So, for $10/mo. i've created a CentOS 6.4 "droplet". 1GBmem. 1 CPU, 30GB SSD Disk with 2TB transfer. My current slice is 256m, 10gb, 1TB, 4xcpu. So far so good. There are less OS choices than rackspace, but enough options. If I build a new VM at rackspace, it would be $16/mo. Rackspace doesn't have the VM choice that I currently have. If you're interested, please use this code: https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=416e93cbbf4e -- Have Mercy & Say Yeah
