Just finished, well for tonight anyway, my VPS over at prgmr.com. I’ve just been redo’ing the conf from scratch. I’ve updated tidybackup to it anyway:

Broadband
When we moved we had to move ISP, our new ISP, unlike Sky (EasyNet), is only ADSL, not ADSL2+, so the max speed I can get is 8MB rather then 24MB, also the actual speed I’ll get is slower as well, for example. BT used to think I can only get 4MB but I used to get 6MB.
Anyway, BT thinks I can get 4MB, I’m getting, well… have a look
Not good. I’ve order a BT Accelerator, it’s suppose to help, we’ll see.

Use Google’s DNS servers
Google offers, among other things, free DNS. Basically, rather then using your ISP’s you can use Googles.
Primary DNS – 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS – 8.8.4.4
