Slicehost Accounts Converting to Rackspace Cloud Server Accounts Over Next Year

Not mine. Sorry, just closed my account and moved to the AWS free tier for the next year. I love the SliceHost model, but they just aren't playing the game anymore. Linode provides 512mb of RAM for the same price as the 256mb SliceHost offering. So why didn't I jump over to Linode? Honestly, because I'm lazy and I like learning new things.<p>Start to finish, I had my new EC2 Micro Instance up, running, with ZNC (w/ colloquy) installed in under a half hour. Not only was it freaking fast (~613mb RAM helps), but its free for a year. I took a snapshot of the install just in case, and now its golden. Firewalls, SSH keys, and package repos just worked.<p><i>shrugs</i> Thankfully my only VPS is for play time, so I can move it around all I want, destroy, and rebuild it.

I've been using the rackspace cloud servers for almost two years and aside from their slow control panel (please someone give them a ui/ux person) it's a great service that is very simple to use and has been incredibly reliable.
