For a few years now, i’ve been hosting this site on Dreamhost. Despite the subpar performance, 90% of the time the site was up churning out requests, which for me worked out great.

Still, there’s something about shared hosting that makes me cringe, so i’ve been meaning to move to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) for quite some time now. After much consideration, i’ve decided to go with gandi.net. The reason? I’ve tried it before and they offer a fair price for what they offer: a single 256mb “slice” for $16/month, scalable up to 16 slices.

It may be a little bit more expensive than Dreamhost, but in the long run, i reckon it will pay back in terms of uptime and expandability.

So goodbye Dreamhost, hello Gandi!
