Yes, and managed dedicated servers are expensive. > Any recommendations for hosts that meet all of the above requirements? > > We'll probably wind up using one of the "dedicated virtual" options > and making a standard practice of logging in to type "apt-get upgrade" > on a regular basis, but it would be nice to find a managed host that > took on that responsibility and still met the rest of the > requirements. As someone who used to work as a sys. admin for an ISP and now does web development full-time, I use cheap Xen-based virtual servers from Linode (linode.com). Yes, this means I have to update my OS regularly (actually have automated scripts that send me email about updates available), but this also means you can customize your disk images to your exact requirements for your app. You can also build your own virtual clusters with Linode with private IPs and load-balancing too, and they currently offer the best value in terms of resources and data transfer compared to the other VM providers. -- (I dont work for Linode, but I have been a happy customer for a few years now). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
