Slicehost

The support staff here at Slicehost work tirelessly to help customers manage their slices and keep things running smoothly. They can be easy to overlook when you don't need their help, so I'll try to regularly highlight some of their more tangible efforts (the bits that are etched in HTML, as it were).

We published some articles to our repository recently that hopefully some folks will find useful.

Installing munin: How to set up a free monitoring solution on your slice.

Barebones postfix install: Installing postfix on a slice with a minimal configuration.

How to use rescue mode: Using rescue mode from the SliceManager to fix a slice that's stubbornly uncooperative.

Speed up resizes: A two-part series on how to minimize downtime when resizing a slice.

Of course, that support staff is lurking in SliceChat twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Be sure and drop in if you have any questions for them.
