Managed VPS and Dedicated Server providers recommendations

Yet another post, I am sorry about that, although I've read several posts about the same subject I'd like to receive any updated insight of any specific provider.

Now I am interested in experiences with either VPS accounts or Dedicated Servers, both Managed and Linux. I am looking for server monitoring, reliable backups, security and uptime on its servers, as well as the money involved.

Web hosting in a free country (no big Big Brother)?

Hello,

hello,

After the presidential election in France I'm considering migrating two websites to a foreign country where they don't spy on you in such detail as they intend to do in France very soon.

To top it all the new French president (not yet in charge, gives us a break ) favours software patents & M$, and we'll see if he moves Ubuntu out of the first chamber of Parliament (députés). where it is planned to be installed in June for every member and their assistants.

The two web sites bear on free software, Linux and all things pubilshed under a free licence. No piracy, nothing illegal.

What I resent is the coming decree that says an ISP or a web hoster must keep all data for three years, including bank car number and all revisions of the content of your web site. For instance, if you write one day "hello" and the next day you edit it to "good night", the two versions will be kept for three years.

It's crazy and may no really be possible at all but I'd like to find another country for these two websites, and others to come.

Does anyone know of a country where the web is still a relatively free space for Linux fans and freedom lovers?

I thought of Quebec (found some free hosting there without ads and some ethics), Spain, ireland? Anyone from there who knows about digital laws there? Any other counry?

Anyone used the Media Temple MySQL GridContainer yet?

Howdy,

Has anyone using Media Temple tried out the MySQL GridContainer yet? If so what version did you use and what were the results? I would be on board to try it out but would love to talk to someone who has tried it. Our site is at times pretty slow even though we don't get a lot of traffic. I have heard that Drupal can be hard on the database. I was wondering if the Gridcontainer would help make the site faster and consistently fast.

Maybe someone from MT can weigh in? I notice they have posted before.

UK vs USA hosting

Hi guys

Am not very technically versed, and i have a few questions about hosting.

1. Is there any technical reason why USA hosting is way much cheaper than UK hosting

2. Any technical disadvantages of hosting a UK site out side of the UK?

Thank you
