Woot! I has new hosting!
Finally, the DNS updated at my ISP. I has a shiny new 512MB VPS slice from eNotch Networks.
Some pretty stats for your enjoyment (feel free to compare these to my previous host which I talked about)

Nice and shiny 100MB link there

Lots of memory! It can still be optimised because Apache is a pain in the rear, I’m thinking of using nginx to cut down that memory even more (of course, this is an OpenVZ container not a Xen so more memory use is to be expected)

A bit of an older CPU but hey, I’m not complaining! At least this host works!
Things to do:
- Install nginx to server static files and proxy to Apache for dynamic files
- Get SVN working
- Django and python!
- Possibly more WordPress to a Python based blog/CMS cause WordPress uses lots of memory
- Any other suggestions?
I’m going to be testing the link speeds to Australia when I SSH out of my school proxy and past the DET firewall in uTorrent 🙂 yay!
