It always bothered me that for a development server you are basically overpaying for bandwidth. Who cares I have 450GB bandwidth when I use maybe 30GB per month ?
- YooLi 16y agoTry Rackspace Cloud Servers (Rackspace owns Slicehost too). Pretty much the same configs as slicehost except no bundled bandwidth so you only pay $11 a month. No affiliation to them but I do have VPSs at both (slicehost for things that require lots of bandwidth).
- fierarul 16y agoYeah, I thought about that too, but apparently there is no way to migrate data (a slice) from Slicehost to Rackspace automatically. And if I have to do it myself I might as well use Amazon, I use it for everything else anyhow.
