Debian 3.1 on a VPS running Xen
06/02/18

So after being on shared hosts for quite a while now, I’ve decided to take the next step and migrate everything to a Virtually Private Server(VPS). After hearing some good reviews about Rimu Hosting on the Rails mailing list, I signed up for their $19.95/m (96MB Ram, 4GB storage, 30GB bandwidth/m) plan. It’s the cheapest plan they offer, and is only $8 more a month than Textdrive’s shared hosting. The only problem with moving to a VPS is now I have to be a sys admin as well. Rimu Hosting staff is quite friendly and will help install a couple things when you sign up, but then you’re pretty much on your own.

So far I have Apache2 installed and running mod_svn with SSL. The next project is to get Apache proxying requests to Lighttpd and then get my blog running off the new server.
