New VPS. What’s next?

Published on September 24, 2008 by Hallaj under Work

Some of you might have known or even noticed that I’ve moved my site to a different place. I’ve been planning to do so for quite some time now but just couldn’t find the right deal to get it on. However, I’ve finally settled down with another company. Instead of getting a VPS, I shared with a couple of friends and got a dedicated server for ourselves. However, it’s not something that I would be truly happy about though because my initial target was to get a Malaysian data center but I guess they’re just too pricey (at least, it’s from my view). I’ve managed to pull some stunts and got a better deal else where (it’s a Turkey data center now I believe). Honestly, the speed is simply a lot better compared to my old hoster (I believe it is faster, and benchmarking results proves that I’m correct).

Done with that, I guess sooner or later we might even be opened to start selling parts of our server as VPS (Xen based of course). I’ve been fiddling with Xen for a while know to finally be able to install almost all the major Linux distributions (CentOS, Fedora, OpenSUSE 10.3, Debian, Ubuntu). Now, done with all that, should I come up with a business plan already or what eh? Cheers :)

Oh, I never know hosting in Turkey can be fast?

If we’re just looking at the speed alone, then Malaysian based servers would be faster. However, because of the other factors, it makes up for the lost speed and ironically, it’s running even better than the Malaysian data center.
