Hosting Headaches

I’m looking at buying a VPS through Linode as soon as my job situation stabilizes.

Not really looking forward to porting my entire catalogue of sites, but the fact I am working at taking copies of all my sites from my current host down to my development server (once I get my internet reconnected at home) should make it alot less painful.

As for the reason why I am looking to move my hosts – because I am tired of dealing with tech support to get things done. If I can have root on a server I don’t need some “I’m just following the script the manager tells us to” tech support guy (who could probably be replaced with a BASH script anyway) to make minor/trivial changes to my server config.

Anyway, the image to the left is there for anyone who wants to read it for a chuckle at my misfortune.
