@heri I was running a handful of smaller sites like this, but i was running a glypi proxy, which was doing about 6,000,000 page views and 400GB of bandwidth a month. I’ve sold that site now, so don’t need the power or bandwidth. Keep up the good work, i’d recommend iweb to anyone.

Hey Dave,
After reading the post, I was wondering if the only website you wanted a web host for was your blog?? Did you use a dedicated server at iWeb just for a wordpress blog?

(i mean, it’s perfectly ok for me, just trying to understand)

@Simon: Yeah you do, I got a 512MB swap with my 256MB slice, and they tell you about it on your usage on the diagnostics page.

Your swap IO usage over the last 4 hours is low: 0.0013 reads/s, 0.0 writes/s.

Do you get a swap file with Slicehost? This is the one thing missing from my current VPS provider and I have a couple of cron scripts that occasionally run out of memory, but not frequently enough to justify an upgrade.
