It has been a busy week here; firstly we have migrated our main web site hosting from Slicehost to Linode. Better price and performance being the main reason. I have had no problems with Slicehost having been with them since before the Rackspace takeover. On the other hand I have heard only good things from Linode and you get more bang for buck memory wise over at Linode.
As part of the move in a bid to squeeze more performance out of our WordPress front end, we have moved from ubuntu 8.04 LTS to ubuntu 10.04 LTS and from Apache to Nginx with php-fast-cgi. After reading up on the differences, performance wise nginx seems to give a significant boost.
There was no outage to our scanning services or web site during the move. For those interested this guide came in handy http://library.linode.com/lemp-guides/ubuntu-10.04-lucid/, a few tweaks to the server config files and we were off and running.
