It took me quite a while to come back and write this post, but finally placona.co.uk is in a new home.
Most of you will remember that I’ve been using crystaltech for quite a while, and they have been great up to this year when I decided to migrate to CF8. I was using CF7 with SQL Server up to then, but made the horrible mistake of upgrading to CF8 + mySQL.
I can’t really complain about their support, as it’s always been really good, but I have to be honest and say that when I really needed them, they turned their back to me, and were quite rude in a few of their answers. But anyway…. water under the river.
I then decided I should stop being a girl, and set-up my own server. That way I’d have real freedom to do whatever I please, and configure the server exactly how I want to.
Obviously my choice was for a VPS, where I’ll be running Apache + Railo + Resin and mySQL.
I’ll make a big post this weekend describing all the procedures I used to get the server up and running, as well as the configurations I’ve made to optimize my 256mb box.
Keep an eye on this space
Welcome to the Slicehost gang Marcos
Being someone that did exactly the same thing only a few months ago I feel I’ve really made the right move in getting my own server.
I knew nothing about Linux, Apache or Railo before I begun but it was certaintly an enjoyable experience working with it and getting my own blog up and running.
Look forward to see how you did it and if I can pick up any new hints / tips
Cheers,
James
