Church Director is moving to Slicehost
Given Church Director’s recent growth, I’ll be moving Church Director to a proper hosting site within the next one or two weeks. This should provide a performance boost with page displays, as well as provide better reliability. I’ll send another notification once the time window is established for the switch, but it should not impact anyone as it will be done after hours and will not take long.
In the mean time, I want to provide a sincere thanks to everyone who is helping us complete the beta testing. Your feedback has been invaluable and will help shape Church Director’s future!

I’m strongly considering using Slicehost as well to host my rails sites. Let me know how everything goes, and good luck with the migration.
Jason,
I currently use them for 2 separate projects and love it. A warning though: you have to be a good Linux sysadmin, or know a good one that can provide help. They give you the raw install and you shape it from there. Very flexible, but can be very time consuming if you aren’t an experienced Linux user.
Yeah, that’s the virtual hosting trade-off. You can have it however you like it, but it’s all yours to manage as well. I’m going to check it out a little more and see if I want to take the plunge. Do they have a referral program?
They have a referral program and (typically) a waiting list. I think the referral program trumps that (or so I’ve heard), so drop me a note if you or any other reader wants to get into Slicehost faster.
[…] Church Director will be migrating to a new hosting site to provide better responsiveness and availability on Sunday Sept 9th, 2007. Expect outages between 3pm CDT and midnight CDT while we transfer the website over. We will do our best to limit the downtime as we perform the transfer, but we have tried to select a time frame that would have minimal impact. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us using our feedback form. […]
