Debian SSH Security - Moved to a new home
Migration - Dedicated Server
Saturday, August 16th, 2008 | migration | No Comments
I’m now doing more Java programming and less Php. Which is a good thing since I’m a terrible Php programmer.
It soon became apparent that to host my own Java applications and web sites I needed a new host. Fasthost.com is not a good organisation and I really wanted to cut all links with them. This was all the encouragement I needed to move to my own dedicated server.
I choose to jump into bed with a local (York) company called Bytemark.
A dedicated host gave me the chance to make my own decisions, my choice of web server and its configuation. Also the ability to run my own increasingly demanding Java applications since I had my own deadicated ram to play with.
However this came with the downside that I had to manage said server. I have basic knowledge of HP-UX and bits and pieces from various Linux distros. But I’ve always liked a challenge and I look forward to running the show for a change.
For the nosey people, I’ve got 2GB of Ram, mirrored hard drives running Debian Etch. I’m planning on installing Apache, php, mysql for various WordPress sites I run and Tomcat for Java.
Apologies
