Cloud hosting with the Rackspace Cloud
Use caution when moving to Mosso or the Rackspace Cloud. Everything was great at first, but things went downhill quickly. We started having lots of “No suitable nodes are available to serve your request” errors, which relate to their MySQL servers. Please test thoroughly before using for anything important.
***Warning!***
You may have seen the announcement on twitter (if not then shame on you, you should be following us). WebDevNews has moved to new hosting. As Xavisys Web Development (the company that owns/operates this site) has been growing, we’ve been trying to find just the right company to partner with in order to offer high quality hosting to our clients. Rackspace Cloud Hosting is that company. We tried quite a few ranging from Bluehost to Host Gator to Rackspace. We were not looking for cheap hosting, we were looking for the best hosting we could find for our specific needs. While some were better than others, RackSpace Cloud Hosting was the best.
In order to test out the hosting, we moved a couple sites to the Rackspace Cloud. We didn’t want to move any really big complex sites, but didn’t exactly want to test with my wife’s blog either. Instead, we moved both WebDevNews and Attackr. Both are WordPress (database driven) sites, and combined they average about 650 pageviews a day. While it’s not a lot of traffic, we thought it would give us a good idea of how Rackspace Cloud Hosting would perform.
