Interesting stuff, thanks for writing this up :)
Personally, I've moved entirely away from VPSs to dedicated servers instead, mostly because I don't have the need to rapidly fire up lots of servers on demand. I think this may be the year where I start investing in SSDs for dedicated hardware, it seems the cost vs. performance gain is now heavily in their favour.

- mootothemax 14y agoGreat stuff, thanks. Right now, money isn't the issue exactly; it's the time it would take to migrate, especially when I don't have a huge pressing need. Next server though, I'll be there! :)
