Effective immediately, this blog will be hosted on clustered servers, and the downtime should be minimal—thanks to Laughing Squid Cloud Hosting.
says that a variety of different sites are using the service and so far the response is good. Veronica Belmont and Art of the Prank are two good examples of high-traffic Wordpress installations using the Laughing Squid Cloud.
The good guys at Rackspace will be powering the service. For $12 bucks a month, you will have reliable storage and serving of pages with speed. I’ve moved the blog over this evening, and it’s like zipping around in a new hybrid vehicle; fast, quiet, and little exhaust.
The Ultra Squid Plan gets you: 2GBs of disk space, 100 GBs of bandwidth, 1000 compute cycles, 5 MySQL databases, 30 POP/IMAP email accounts and 1 GB of email storage per mailbox.
I deleted andrewmager.com from Dreamhost, but I still host 50+ domains there. I wanted to put my blog on a more stable architecture because I plan on blogging more.
Give Laughing Squid a try if you have a site that you don’t want to lose. I want to have multiple copies of my blog’s files in case a server drops. Cloud lets you do that.
