Progressive Computing

With my leaving Fulcrum Enterprises, and the closing of our Phoenix data center, the search was on for where to relocate our servers.  Due to some bad experiences in the past, I’ve always wanted to be able to get my hands on our equipment.  However, after a lengthy discussion with Brent Burval at ezSolutions, we decided to look ‘to the cloud’ (I really hate that phrase).

After examining quite a few VPS hosting services we settled on linode.com.  The main reasons we settled on this company where:

• attractive pricing
• large selection of distributions
• ability to migrate an existing server to a VPS
• availability of additional IP Addresses (rackspace only allows 5 per VPS)
• extensive online documentation
• user friendly control panel

For more information please see the linode web site.

After a number of problems at our data center, combined with some hacker attacks, I’ve decided to get out of the web hosting business and am resigning from Fulcrum Enterprises.  All of our business hosting clients will be transferred over to ezSolutions, and I will be working with them as a consultant and developer.  We should have all the email and web site accounts transferred by the end of April.

I will continue to do business consulting and web site development for my existing clients, however all hosting related issues will be handled through ezSolutions.
