Packing Up and Moving Once Again
If you're reading this, hello and welcome to my new home on the web! I decided that I was tired of putting up with a bunch of RapidVPS's shortcomings and having to run 2 servers to handle my basic web needs, so I've migrated elsewhere.
I'm now hosted on SliceHost. The reviews I've read for them are spectactular, and everything I've read on their site, from how there's a maximum of 24 people per server, to how I can actually see what the load on the host machine is (around 0.20 when I last checked), to the heightened sense of community I get from their site, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm also happy for a host that's geographically closer to me (MO vs FL) and has better transfer rates.
I also used this opportunity to test out a new configuration. Since I am running Django-powered sites exclusively, I decided that Apache + mod_python was a bit overkill. I'm now running lighttpd with Django in FastCGI mode. From what I've read, it's plenty for basic sites such as this. If my blog ever "takes off" (doubtful, considering its nature), I can always move back later with little effort.
So, here we go again. Website's up, and I'll be migrating my personal email services later this week. Let me know if the site seems faster/slower/same to you in the comments, will ya?

I would agree I think MO is totally much better than FL... ha ha I wonder why.. heck if I move there I would be right on top of your host :-)
