At this point I thought I’d take a moment to go over how this site is powered.
First off, there’s the VPS from Linode (Linode stands for Linux Node) which comes with the following specifications:
- 360MiB RAM
- 12GiB storage space
- 200GiB data transfers per month
- Full SSH access (root)
- Managed DNS
- (and more…)
- $19.95 per month (about 14€)
I’d say that that’s pretty good value for money… So far I’ve been extremely happy with the Linode VPS, no glitches or breakdowns and it’s fairly zippy (even though I’m in Europe and the server is in the US). Oh, and when you order a VPS you get to choose which data centre you want it to be in.
If you do decide to get a VPS from Linode, I’d appreciate it if you used my referral code:

I’ll be honest about it: I get $20 credit if somebody gets a VPS with that code (and keeps it for 90 days)…
Well, that covers the hardware, so to speak.
