Actually, 4sysops was running on a VPS in the beginning. I didn’t make good experiences at that time. Performance was often lousy. But I know that things have changed since then. Many providers now guarantee RAM and CPU resources. I have been seriously considering VPS because it is by far the cheapest option. It will become clearer in the following posts why I opted for the cloud.

You should look at a VPS like Linode. I’ve had great success running multiple WordPress sites on a single server. (Plus my email server!)

I would be even inclined to say every Windows admin should speak a little OS X if it just weren’t for this anti-PC adverts.

I’m with Matt please let us know more.

ps. You are my new best friend for making this statement “I think every Windows admin should speak a little Linux too.”

This all sounds very interesting. I’m looking forward to hearing more about running your blog in the clouds. Can you also include the pricetag you’re paying?

Thanks!
