Today I’m totally happy. Earlier this year I have migrated this blog from BlogEngine.NET onto WordPress.
Today I have finished moving all my web sites off Godaddy and onto Linode VPS.
Here’s the stack I run now:
- openSUSE Linux 11.4. Liking it more than Ubuntu so far. Compare names: “apt-get” vs. “zypper”. The standard greeting says “Have a lot of fun!”.
- nginx. Superfast, simple, powerful web-server optimized for static content (but not only). Helped me configure redirects from zvolkov.com/blog to zvolkov.com/clog and from zvolkov.com/poignant_ru to www.poignant.ru.
- MySQL. Moving two WordPress databases I had on Godaddy over was a piece of cake.
- PHP with PHP-FPM and APC. The latter is an opcode cache for PHP.
- WordPress. I was concerned about moving existing WordPress installation from Windows to Linux by copying files, but surprisingly, this was painless.
- WP Super Cache. This plugin creates static gzip files for each WordPress post, which then can be served by ngnix w/o the overhead of PHP and SQL processing.
By far the most interesting and demanding part of the move was tweaking nginx.

Ой, сорри, только щас камент заметил. План самый маленький: 512MB RAM, 20GB disk, 200GB/month traffic, $20/month
