Recently i been hang around in twitter quite often, that’s why i have more story to share , this is related to webbynode – the new vps hosting that i blog about last week.

So what happen is i saw webbynode email about their service going live soon bla bla bla , so i just tweet it in my twitter.

during that time i hanven’t follow webbynode’s twitter account yet and after a while i getting some message.

Just base on my twitter, i think they did a search and found out that they send me the beta invite some time already and give me a personalized reply. I think this is really good plus point, in the end after testing the vps , i did sign up their VIP account, partially is because what they did give me a very good impression.

Is there Instant Deployment for PHP ?

I was reading Why Instant Deployment Matters from heroku’s blog this morning , i believe it is the same reason why i give webbynode a try. I would prefer to just focus on development , in stead of wasting time to learn how to configure/tweak/fine tune it, this might be the same reason , i have try out slicehost but in end just put my account on pause first.

On a side note, there are Heroku for rails, Google App Engine for python , is there are similar service for PHP ?

Webbynode – another vps hosting for developer

I m a big fan of vps , going through my hosting history , i have try/use/tested quite a number of vps hosting provider, webbynode is the latest vps provider that i just try out yesterday.I have the webbynode beta account since december last year, but i didn’t manage to spend some time on it, until i receive their newsletter which mention they going to live, start taking order from beta user and beta user that place order will have 15% off in less then 48 24 hour.

I try to activate my beta account, thanks that they didn’t remove inactivate user,my beta activation is still working. The interface give me a very good first impression, it is clean, simple and straigh foward. Their slogan is Cloud Computing for Developer , which is very clear who they are aiming for. I can’t really comment on the hardware/infrastructure part , since i m not really good on these, hopefully hostingfu will write something on these.

From a user/developer view webbynode is ideal for develoepr like me, i doing web development but not really good in linux server admin, they have a feature call ReadyStacks which allow the user setup the vps with GUI.Let’s say now i have a php project, i just using the interface create a LAMP stack, the stack will up and running within 5~10 min, currently there are ReadyStacks for LAMP, Django and Rails. Browsing through the forum , there are some interesting combination of stack has been discuss.

Choose Your Stack

Choose the PHP Module that you need

Your Stack is in progress

The concept is quite similar to webfaction, is just like a vps hosting of webfaction.If you want a beta account or want to become Webbynode VIP , just tweet the webbynode team @webbynode and request it, i sure the people @ webbynode won’t mind to give you a beta account, but you only have less then 24 hour to decide.
