I've had a Slice for quite some time now and I've *finally* moved this site to it. The last several times I've traveled, we've had a power outage, and the server hasn't come back up when the power restored. It's not a terribly old server, but it seems to be nearing the end of its life, and I'm ready to not be in the ISP business any more. So, farewell, buglet, hello malbec. The days of my running servers in my home are nearing an end.

I know what you mean...
I'm still running my own servers, but they are not at my house. The electricity and heat generated by the one small machine I used to keep my website on was unbelievable. Funny thing is, I didn't notice it until the machine was gone. I know my "office" at home is cooler because it's no longer there.
I don't know that I'm ready for a "slice" (Virtual Server) just yet, but the thought has crossed my mind more than once.
