"you have more work than can fit into one server"

Many, many people believe this is true for them.

Most of them are wrong.



I know being the edgy you-don't-have-big-data guy is all the rage right now, but seriously? Most people can fit all of their work on one server? What kind of mom-and-pop shops are you working for?


I started JohnCompanies in summer/fall 2001, which was the first VPS provider. This was a fairly significant financial gamble that most people can fit all their work on even less than one server.

That bet paid off.

I have no idea what "is all the rage right now".
