LWN gets a new server
The folks at Rackspace Managed Hosting have been
hosting the LWN.net front-line server for almost two years now - ever since
our un-acquisition from Tucows. We have never had anything but great
support and service from Rackspace during this time, despite the fact that
they have been donating this service to LWN in exchange for a few banner
ads. As LWN's traffic has
grown, however, we have overrun the capabilities of both our two-year-old
server and the bandwidth that was allotted to it. So we've had to put some
real thought into how to continue to provide a responsive site with all the
new features that readers have been requesting.
We are now happy to acknowledge that Rackspace has not only given us a newer, faster server, but it has also upped our monthly bandwidth limit donation to a level that should be sufficient for a while. Rackspace has done a lot over the last two years to help keep LWN on the net. We would like to say "Thanks, Rackspace!" for continuing to come forward and help keep the site alive.

Second that... Posted Feb 5, 2004 10:01 UTC (Thu) by kmike (guest, #5260) [Link] Apparenty it currently doesn't, but I thought it returned gzipped content at some point.. maybe it was lost in server transition.

LWN gets a new server Posted Feb 2, 2004 15:59 UTC (Mon) by ghane (guest, #1805) [Link] Last year, I needed a new Debian server in the US. Based on LWN's hosting, I signed up with Rackspace. A week ago, needing another in Europe, I got one in their UK datacentre.The fact that LWN was hosted there was the main reason to go to them. --
