Choosing a host

I recentely migrated a lot of my websites from a self-hosted solution (with a server that constantly shuts down) to a much more stable VPS with Linode. I’m really enjoying it thus far – everything is great. It’s quick, it’s stable (as in, it doesn’t shut down every 2-3 days without any warning!) and it’s got a really nice management console.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I really liking Linode thus far, and it suits my needs at the present time, but I decided to do some looking around and I found a very interesting host. Storm seems to also have some very competitive pricing schemes.

I’m not looking to move from Linode just yet, my needs are met perfectly just here. Storm however, does look like a very viable option if/when I do decide to move.

Or, maybe I’ll just open my own Data Centre. Who’s with me!?
