A guy fails at configuring BIND9. News at 11.

BIND sucks. But seriously I am stil a little concerned about whether Power DNS is secure/per formant. I'm hoping to have some solid data on that soon.

Mostly this is an attempt to prove it is getting easier to do this; with VPS's getting cheaper and more abundant I seriously expect to see "all in one" VM's springing up with more and more people "self hosting". Could even be a viable startup there...

I've been wondering if I should get myself a website on a Rackspace cloud, but I'm not sure if I can keep the same static IP if I delete/copy server instances.

I'm not sure you can on Rackspace - I also would be interested to hear for certain. Same for any other VPS providers. I'm looking for US ones to provide failover/US hosting.
