Rackspace Cloud working fine...

All Sevik servers have been moved from their original hodgepodge of VPS and dedicated servers at various providers to Rackspace Cloud. The transition happened early in the year, and we've been going without any problems since then, and getting great performance for the price.

Previously we had dedicated servers and various forms of accounts at Rackspace, Verio, Hurricane Electric, Linode and Slicehost. By consolidating with virtual servers under Rackspace Cloud, management of assets is easier and money is saved. The upcoming content network will be entirely hosted on Rackspace Cloud.

Summer schedule...

Things moving slowly during the summer. New Modules though should be ready for Sevik control panel users by the end of August. Content network on tap to be launched in September with testing throughout August. By the end of the year, the network is planned to expand to around twenty sites covering a range of themes.
