Re: Cake Hosting - Who is the best?

I had never set up a linux system before I set up my current one. I
used the Linode/Slicehost guides and was up and running in a few
hours.

There are good guides on setting up your own mailserver as well. I
set up my mailserver using postfix and simply forward all mail to my
main gmail account. I have gmail set up so that when I reply, gmail
logs into my site's mailserver to send. Works like a charm.
