Since I went to a small Rackspace cloud server I was concerned whether it would be stable. I have only had the account for a couple of months but the uptime is consistent with my last reboot so it seems like a very solid platform.

In contrast with the Dreamhost VPS offering I was on, the reliability is awesome.

The downside is it’s self managed. No one-click installs. No unlimited diskspace. No behind the scenes exploit warnings and security management.

But then again my website isn’t bouncing like a yoyo as it did with the Dreamhost VPS.

Pro’s and Con’s to everything…
