To embark on my little journey, I needed to find an environment that could accommodate all of my needs. Given the variety of languages/framework/web servers I plan to look into, I couldn’t settle less than having complete control over my server. Enter Slicehost, a company that offers VPS for prices that are quite affordable. I went with a basic 256mb slice for $20/month. They offer some pretty good features and are quite developer friendly. What really got me was the great set of articles they provide in their help section, definitely check them out.
Whoohoo! My own little server. Time to start moving foward…first on my list…Django…
