It has been 6 years since I have decided to move off shared hosting like Dreamhost and Hostmonster. But never minded that Linode, the VPS suggested by many, would try to fool me like them.
So, what happened? Well, I have deployed a new profile in my ex-linode with Ubuntu Server 12 LTS 64-bits, reinstalled everything from scratch, and rebooted to start fresh. Is a nice feeling, you know? The expectation of a fresh LAMP barbeque after being cooking for a couple of hours. But unfortunately I got a cold pizza!
