Hi Martin,
Been a lot of talk about this on Twitter recently as a few Developers =
are jumping on this band wagon, including myself.
I've got a virtual server running my blog and a couple of other small =
sites at moment. I've never used Linux before and my first command =
prompt was actually typed on the new box that I bought from Slicehost at =
the start of the year :-)
Don't know about flavours of OS but I went with CentOS as there seemed =
to be a lot more documentation for it both for setup and CF related =
stuff.
Slicehost I would highly recommend but John Beynon did a good article on =
them and Mosso here:
http://john.beynon.org.uk/2009/04/17/mosso-cloudservers-vs-slicehost/
I bought the basic Slicehost package and it works out on average about =
=A315 a month (give and take currency conversion as they're US based). =
Uptime has been 100% and the system is very fast. They have a really =
decent set of documentation online which takes you through all the =
setup, locking down of user accounts and firewall access along with =
installing mySQL, Apache and something else called PHP - Don't know what =
that is, I just ignored it though.
In terms of installing Railo there is a healthy amount of blogs out =
there that cover the setup but they'll probably vary depending on your =
choice of OS. If you got CentOS give me a shout as I've got a great step =
by step guide that I was sent from a fellow CFfer in the US.
HTH
Cheers,
James
