We just moved to a new Shiny Server :)

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

..power by Linux of course!

We moved from a 2GB Cloud Server in Rackspace to a 32GB Dedicated in Hetzner. The paradox is that we now save around $200 each month. Rackspace is a so cool company ..but paying money from our pocket wasn’t cool at all :) Our Google ads were covering only about 1/3 for our server cost. Bad Google!

We need to say a huge thanks to Gnome SysAdmin Andrea Veri for helping us to set up our new server; that  took about 2-3 hours. For the curious we run a CentOS 6.3 in this box.

Now that we don’t need to worry about hardware resources and server cost, we can and we will launch some new fancy web services!

That was our 3rd server move the 6 months we are online ..and I really hate transferring servers!  Last weeks we are a bit less active, due the excessive full schedule of our normal jobs :(

    “$200 each month.”
    You probably mean you save $200 per year, not per month, as the 2GB RAM server at Rackspace costs about $88.

      Add on this about $6-7 a day, $180-200 a month for bandwidth. Hetzner has 10T a month for free.
