Just over the last few days, I have been setting up a new server. Over on SliceHost. Yeah. I have found many issues running my Ruby on Rails apps over on DreamHost (like the fact that DreamHost won’t give you enough memory to run more than one).

So I have now moved WebToday across, which is good. Getting the emails working correctly was a whole nother kettle of fish though! At least now I have found out how to create a mailbox that forwards straight on (so it can be used for sending mail, but all received mail goes elsewhere).

There are a couple of things I have noticed about SliceHost which I really like – 24/7 live chat with them, articles on how to do the basics (setup a mail server, for example) and the ability to clone a slice. This means that when the number of emails and websites gets too much, I can clone the slice, remove the web role from one and the mail role from the other (and same thing for the database).

Anyway, enough love story for now, back to moving domains across…
