I have been thinking of moving my computer website to a vps. I am considering linode and slidehost. Can anyone tell me which one would be best and how many nodes will I need?
Is there a reason you're using your own hardware instead of using a hosting company?
If your primary interest is having a high-availablity site, that would probably be better.
Though I can see why you'd want to use your own hardware if you're doing something special, like interfacing to local sensors.
