I have a client _very_ adept at setting up slices, and talking about a cloud presence so as to be able to do large scale simulations, tests. I gave them a shell account so they could see their project space I was maintaining (I rsync updates regularly). They promptly got their own account. "Why", I asked. "I thought you were going to get a slice!" "We liked how this looked - this is much easier to setup and maintain things - gives us all sorts of useful stuff, without the bother of setting up and maintaining a slice." They made use within hours. Sure, they will use slices and cloud when needed - but for quick demos, simple setups, and low traffic - this is just too accessible, and convenient. I am sure other hosters have a similar environ, webfaction has a nice implementation of this kind of environment, accessible (i.e. easy to find) information * documentation, and a nicely responsive support team (always civil, pleasant, helpful, positive). - Yarko > -- > Thadeus > > On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 12:02 PM, mr.freeze <nat...@freezable.com> wrote: > > Nice.
