Slicehost is amazing. I'm currently running 3 Wordpress blogs off of a 256MB slice. I would highly recommend either ditching Apache or going with a larger slice though. I did experience some memory issues when using Apache (although this could be cleared up with a bit more configuration on my end).
Regardless, I'm running Lighttpd (10 work handlers using the same amount of RAM as 1 Apache handler), proftpd, MySQL 5, PHP5 via FastCGI, and sendmail. I've never dipped below 80MB RAM left and load times are extremely quick.
I've offloaded my email services to Google Apps, which has it's advantageous and disadvantageous.
- apgwoz 19y agoIs sendmail setup to route mail through Google then? I've been trying to figure out the best way to approach email. Right now, I'm using google apps and a Django patch for TLS support. It's not ideal and I'd like to change the setup.
- lyime 18y agoYou can have Google Apps and Postfix installed on your slice. Articles.slicehost.com Guide 1 and 2 walk you through setting those things up. Its trivial and powerful.
