maciej from pinboard has written some useful stuff on this too: - The five stages of hosting: http://blog.pinboard.in/2012/01/the_five_stages_of_hosting/ http://blog.pinboard.in/2012/01/the_five_stages_of_hosting/ - Building servers: http://blog.pinboard.in/2012/05/a_cloud_of_my_own/ http://blog.pinboard.in/2012/05/a_cloud_of_my_own/ - Going colo: http://blog.pinboard.in/2012/06/going_colo/ http://blog.pinboard.in/2012/06/going_colo/ A bunch of people are probably going to respond to Jeff's article by saying things like, "But VPS hosting means you get other people to deal with problems for you", but in reality all that means is that you're at maciej's "monastery" or "dorm room" stage of hosting, and your needs haven't yet driven you to get "the apartment".
