I'm coming to the end of my current Servint contract. I've been using them for two years now, and their service has been great, but money is tight and I've never been completely thrilled with my server performance. I'm currently on the Essential VPS plan, it was great for my vB4 install, but it's somehow not optimized for xF after conversion last December, not to my satisfaction anyway...
I'm looking at Linode's 768 plan, but I'm leery of jumping into an un-managed solution. The savings would be great though, and maybe I can get some pointers on how to better optimize my setup for xenforo.
I do have some college Linux/Unix experience from 18 years ago, but I'm very rusty, and watching some of the tutorials on youtube make me wonder if I can do this on my own.
Are there any books or guides that I can use to brush up my skills so I'm ready to use Linode? Also, I'm not sure what server configuration I should consider to make my forum perform to it's best...
