I will have to point out. You can resize slices at anytime you want with no downtime to your server.
You can clone any slice as many times as you want to any size of disk you want without taking down the original slice You get automated backups from daily, weekly, to monthly that are exact images of your slice. You can create a slice based from a backup image I have never had any of my slices go down or the network become unresponsive other than programming errors on my part You get a web console into the system, I have used several web based consoles before and this is absolutely the best I have used. Slicehost support has always gotten back to me with a response within 5 minutes of sending an email. During the middle of the day or the middle of the night! Slicehost has an API in python so theoretically you can have web2py control your slice if you so desired. There is something to say about the simplicity of the slicehost management, no fancy graphics making the navigation of the dashboard complex, it just has what you need and its perfect. -- Thadeus On Wed, Jun 9, 2010 at 10:31 PM, Salvor Hardin <salvor.pub...@gmail.com> wrote: > FWIW, I've had 600+ days of uptime running Debian + Apache + qmail at > www.linode.com.
