All Settled In
I'm running from my new VPS now. It has a healthy 1GB RAM (much better than the 384 I used to have!). And everything seems to be running smoothly.
I did have possibly the most unusual method of moving my blog over - in that I zipped up the directory, moved it over to the new VPS, and imported the database, same for the apache2 settings. Luckily, 98% of it went without a hitch! A few issues with virtual hosts and mod_rewrite, but that's all.
I now have a constant IRC presence, because I'm no longer limited by the VPS provider on what I can and can't use (gotta love having a friend with a server!). And yes - it's running Ubuntu 8.04 Server

Glad it’s all working well for you

I’ve been going through the same thing. My current hosting worked fine for YEARS for me, but now that I want to play around with more ambitious stuff slicehost seemed like the way to go. So far I’m loving it. Glad I’m not the only one.
PS – Also running ubuntu on it.

One day you’re gonna have to show me where to set all this up. I’m not fussed at the minute because I’m happy with a simple personal-hosting style PHP set-up. But one day, my appetite will grow

No worries, it’s pretty easy to do, though if you’re not comfortable using the linux command line, maybe a little less easy
