I finally took the plunge. After leeching off of so many of my client’s webservers for so long (This site is hosted by LivingWithStyle as are my other websites), I’ve finally decided to get a dedicated server of my own. Also, after using Gentoo, Slackware, and various RedHat clones for so long I decided to install Debian on the box so I can get some experience with it. I’ll be moving this site, along with Serverwiki and War Ensemble to the new server in the next few days, so the 3 or 4 of you who are regular readers may experience some downtime.
The nice thing about finally having a server of my own is the fact that I may, finally after so long, be able to put up my old telnet BBS back up. It’ll be nice to not have to worry about users sucking up all my bandwidth here at home for once.
Finally, I plan to toss a couple game servers up there, The box has a quad core Xeon (3220), 2GB RAM, and a 250GB SATA II drive so It should be more than enough for what I need.
Thanks to the fine folks at SoftLayer who gave me a good deal on the box. It’s more than I wanted to pay, but I couldn’t pass up the offer I got on it

bah, BBS… way oldschool… If I remember correctly, I even connected to you BBS once or twice, but that was way back
don’t you think, the server is a little too much, I mean SW, WE and your blog will never use that kind of processing power? or will they?
and how much bandwidth have you got?
