:D :D does arpnetworks backup the VMs periodically? not that i know of you have to look after backups yourself tarsnap is useful/good ok thanks (and cheap!) also suppose i start with a certain plan, and then decide i need more disk space. when i upgrade my plan do i have to repartition the disk to use the extra space? or how does that work? i guess it depends on the OS - you can add more space, but i'm not sure what the process is you may be able to grow the filesystem into the newly allocated space, but i can't be sure i'm afraid best bet is to email support@arpnetworks.com and ask :) thanks oh a coworker just forwarded me this - http://support.arpnetworks.com/kb/vps/how-do-i-upgrade-or-downgrade-my-vps hehe, i was just hunting through the FAQ looking for that very page :) well thanks for your help. we'll probably be signing up soon great :) it's a really good serviec i'm sure you'll be very pleased :) everyone raves about it :) i'm itching to get a person vps myself.. *personal it's very useful oooh...
