As I explained in my last post, I started to run into issues with my Railo installation as it was getting hit too hard by requests. In all fairness, Railo is beta software and I was a bit weary of putting beta software into a production environment anyway.

With all of the hype about Railo nowadays, I had forgotten about Open BlueDragon which has been available for over a year now. The nice thing about BlueDragon is that is was a fork of the commercial version of the product, so it is very robust and mature. Plus it is licensed under the GNU GPL (v3) so there are not many restrictions on its use.

The slice server, or VPS, market is getting bigger and bigger. I pointed out a few hosts in the last post, and some other users commented with their own. They all seem to be in the same ballpark of $40-$60 for a 1GB memory slice with 20-40GB of storage. Some are as cheap as $20, but most people recommend at least 512K for a Railo server. I was shopping for a slice of about 1GB as I want to host a number of sites of the box.
