My OperaVPS hosting
Thursday, May 28, 2009 11:59:37 AM
I have for some time tried to find a better solution to hosting web applications than using old fashion web hosting.
Well, VPS or Virtual Private Server to the rescue!
I got an OK deal from Servetheworld, hosted in Oslo/Norway:
For 249 NOK/month (+ 25% VAT), which is approximately USD $50.
The only negative so far, is that the server is behind some kind of firewall that keeps dropping network connections if they stay idle for too long. Too long in that sense is less than one hour, but more than 15 minutes. The connections are not reset, so both ends of the connection still beleive that the connection is alive.
Somewhat annoying, but you can tell SSH to send keep alive messages on shorter intervals in order to ensure the connection stays alive (ServerAliveInterval 300 in ~/.ssh/config)
