The webserver that is serving you this page isn’t running on a real physical machine. It’s running on a virtual Xen CPU in a Dallas, TX datacenter that is operated by RimuHosting, my VPS (Virtual Private Server) provider.

I’ve been really pleased with RimuHosting’s technical support, especially their response time. Here’s an example:

11:39PM EST – I send an email to RimuHosting support, requesting that they add the SSH host key for their backup server to their online documentation.

11:45PM EST – I recieve a reply from David, one of their reps, and notice that the documentation has been updated.

Nice.
