So it's been a year since I switched my hosting server to Slicehost. I originally started with a 256MB Slice, but recently upgraded to a 512MB Slice. 256MB of memory is, unfortunately, not quite enough to run a lamp server without turning off all unused or unnecessary services (which you should do anyway) and reconfiguring Apache, PHP and MySQL to run with less than optimal resources. I logged into my slicehost account manager today and noticed that the monthly bandwidth quota for my slice had gone up from 200GB to 300GB since the last time I'd logged in. I decided to look into it and quickly discovered that they had changed their hosting plans and added two new options, a 384MB slice and a 768MB slice. The 384MB slice was exactly what I had been hoping for when I upgraded to my 512MB slice a few months earlier. If you are just running a LAMP stack with sites that get light to medium traffic then 384MB of memory is just the right amount. So basically I've enjoyed stellar service and almost 100% uptime from Slicehost over the last year and now they offer hosting plans that are more targeted to users like me and my company. I'm happy to report that after over a year of hosting I'd still recommend Slicehost to anyone looking for a hosting service that focuses on the developer and not on all the unnecessary web control panels and setup tools.
