Slicehost site redesigned
- 0x44 19y agoI rather liked the old design.
- nickb 19y agoNot a huge fan of it but I'm happy that they left the management console the way it was!
- rochers 19y agoHas anyone used this for hosting? Can you give some pros/cons?
- collin 19y agoyeah, I'm trying them out for a little side-project. plug!(http://theskyisfree.com http://theskyisfree.com) Instance management not as programattic as EC2. Slice manager loving rocks. browser based shell access rocks! tutorials section taught me a lot about system admin and are easy for a web-devs to follow Root access for $20 a month :)
- thomasswift 19y agoBest $20/month I've ever spent on hosting. Pros: Root, many distros, great support (was able to change slice size within hours, that may vary but it was fast). The web console, in case of ssh irregularity, is nice. Cons: none yet, maybe there exist some but I've had no problems so far for about a year or so.
- collin 19y agoI don't like the use the word "design" gets on the web. I see this as mostly a re-arting. The way I use and more importantly: read this page hasny 't really changed. As a signed up user I click on the button that lets me log in. The experience is a little bit more different for first time users. I would prefer it if we called design design and art art. This distinction is important, not just pedantic. While working in groups or at my office discussions of design regularly get caught up in what should be the icing on the cake: the art. And I think slicehost just got some nice icing
- alaskamiller 19y agolinode.com is a very similar service with a tad bit more value for the same pricing. we like them quite a lot.
- henning 19y agoGood (it looks very Web 2.0), but where are the motion-blurred pictures of people in three-piece suits and phone operators with headsets on waiting to chat with me? All I see is a concise, informative overview of the company and the services they provide. In conclusion, no Digg. (What is "BW"? Is that something to do with Facebook?)
