Slicehost acquired by Rackspace
This blog and many of my projects, code, svn etc. are hosted on a virtual private server at Slicehost. I started using them a couple of months after they launched their services two years ago. I had come off some bad experiences with shared hosting and was looking for a VPS. I’m not sure why I thought everything would be ok with Slicehost as they had no track record, but, they just seemed to get it. Well, I’ve been hosting with them for two years now and couldn’t be happier. They’ve now been acquired by Rackspace, a much larger player. Congratulations are in order. As a user I’ve rarely been in touch with them. That’s good! It means everything just works. Hopefully, that won’t change when they join a bigger company.
