Getting Rid of My VPS (and Replacements)

I'm getting rid of my VPS. Right now I just need to conserve money and I think $240 a year is a bit of a waste. So as part of the parting process I thought I'd write about some replacement services I will probably use.

  • Heroku - I am hosting a few Rails apps and they are not massive apps and I think that Heroku can probably handle those (for free).
  • OCF - I'll probably be going back to my old friends at the OCF for hosting files.
  • Home Server - I will probably still use Linode's DNS and use it to point to a home server. This will be my play ground for ideas and things. Nothing serious just fun. Possibly try Solaris? Maybe...
  • Google Apps - Email, Docs, etc. You know the drill!
So I'm going to backup my data and delete my VPS. It's sort of nice seeing the progress that has been happening in the world the last two years such that I really don't need a VPS to host Rails apps anymore.
