- rantfoil 17y agoSlicehost support is top notch -- also getting started on a box is absurdly simple with PickledOnion's tutorials.
- edawerd 17y agoTrue. PickedOnion's tutorials are really helpful, especially if it's your first time setting up a "real" server. I later went with Linode for my personal websites, since they're a bit cheaper, and I felt more comfortable with setting up a box now.
- diN0bot 17y agoI went with linode and used the slicehost tutorials for setup. All good. I definitely feel more loyalty to slicehost, but I was already set up on linode and it is cheaper, so momentum kept me there.
- davidw 17y agoSH are definitely good people, but are they better than Linode in terms of support? That's difficult to determine and quantify. The only support request I filed was asking if they'd be adding 32 bit instances any time soon, and they said no;-)
- bretthoerner 17y agoDisk, right? RAID 1+0 at Slicehost is pretty unique, afaik. I'm not saying that makes them objectively better in every way, but it's just an answer to your non-question. ;)
