I purchased a slice from slicehost and set up my own Ubuntu box.

So now instead of Apache and FCGI running the show, I am using Lighttpd and Mongrel and I must say, it’s running much faster! In addition to running fast, holy crap is mongrel eating up some memory. I purchased the cheap slice, so I only have 256 megs of RAM(Random Access Memory), but 1 mongrel instance is taking up about 25% of my memory, and this blog isn’t the only blog I’m going to be hosting.

Because of this, it looks like I may be saying good-bye to Typo and am going to move to WordPress unless anyone out there has any suggestions.

This site was down for a good portion of the day yesterday, serving up “Application Error” messages. I have not touched my code in one bit or tweaked any setting, and the joker was down. I have even noticed it down when Google tries to index my site, as when I used their webmaster tools I noticed the response errors

I was reading an article on shared hosting and Application Error and realized that Dreamhost may not be the answer I need.

So what is the answer? Right now, I don’t know. But the comments in the aforementioned article did make suggestions to Rails Playground Planet Argon and others. I suppose I will bit the bullet and look towards those services, once I have time after theInspirit gets through alpha.
