A sort of pros and cons approach would help me understand the technical reasons behind those decisions. A little nod toward security for your setup would be helpful as well.

I did have somewhat regular issues with my host however, and despite my best efforts I could not solve them. I can't say that it was/wasn't my config, or that it was/wasn't their config but for the last year I've had to reboot my slice about once a week after it hard-locked. Based on that long-running issue plus the fact that linode staff seems much more responsive in IRC (and the plans are cheaper!) I decided to try and solve my problem by switching providers. Again, it could have been my configuration (although I have no idea what it is). @Max – Slicehost was really pretty good, for the most part.

It'd be helpful if you'd share some of the issues you had with slicehost. Personally, I've heard nothing but good things about them. I'm now off to learn more about lighttpd Thanks for sharing Christer. It’d be helpful if you’d share some of the issues you had with slicehost.

I've had issues with slicehost for quite some time now and linode seemed to be a comparable replacement. So far I'm impressed. @Joey – I’ve read quite a bit about nginx but I’m more familiar with lighttpd so I think the main reason is simply familiarity.

Also you have mentioned once I think that you were at Slicehost.. but now you mention Linode .. what is the difference between the two?
