The Technician, now on a Cloud Server
I am pleased to announce that this site is now hosted on the Rackspace Cloud. It was a simple migration from MediaTemple, and has given me the level of control I want. I got to choose my OS (CentOS), versions of php and MySQL, and setup apache how I like it. I’m free of Plesk and those and the limitations therein.
The one thing I would really like to see from the Rackspace Cloud is DNS Support. My goal when migrating http://chr.ishenry.com was to move entirely off of MediaTemple. The one thing I really did like about hosting with them was that DNS was integrated directly into the service. With the Rackspace Cloud, there was no such convenience. However, a quick signup with DynDNS and a tweak to my domain registrar solved that.
Big thanks to Ryan Kearney’s video tutorial for the yum command that brought everything together.
Hello,
Great to see you are now on The Rackspace Cloud, welcome! I wanted to mention that we do offer DNS support and would like to know more of what you are requiring as we’d like to help. Send me an email when you have a chance.
Thanks again!
