setwave

I just completed my migration of squabl.com. Say bye-bye Dreamhost, hello Slicehost! I must say, it’s love at first site. I’m going to post some notes about the setup and migration. All-in-all, I created the account, setup my VPS, and ported everything to the new hosting company while watching TV a few nights this week.

It looks like the site is performing way better then it did in it’s former home. (But this could be, no one knows it exists, really.) Dreamhost seemed neat at first, but the love affair didn’t last. I feel like I just wasted a few weeks trying to work around its limitations, horrible performance issues (fcgi in a shared environment with rails is painful), and recent billing issues. I mean, come on, I want to spend my time coding, wouldn’t you? Either way, I did learn some new things in the process.
