If you already have a Rackspace account with the project, you should be able to do this yourself. Log in to the “Cloud Control Panel,” then you should be able to create servers under the “Server” popup menu. If any part of that doesn’t work for you, please let me know what piece you’re missing or what error you get, and we’ll get it sorted out.
Yes, I found the procedure. The question was whether you'd recommend one Big Server™ or multiple smaller ones :)
Do you have any prompt technical advices or pitfalls that you would see in the following procedure?:
That’s the basic gist I’ve used for all of these, yeah. The last step, after the ones you listed, is to switch over the DNS records once the new server is ready. For services that listen for connections, those should stay up on both the new and old servers until the new DNS records have had enough time to propagate.
Yes, the standard procedure :)
Can you recommend Rackspace's DNS?
Do you have experience with the CDN?
Sorry, but I can’t personally speak to either of these. We use Gandi for DNS hosting, and haven’t used Rackspace’s CDN at all.
Ok, thanks a lot.
Best regards -Tobias
Let me know if there’s anything else I can answer or do to help. Thanks again,

Hi Brett,
as shortly indicated on IRC, here's the list of people who need access to rackspace
BOARD Bert Freudenberg bert@freudenbergs.de Craig Latta craig@netjam.org David T. Lewis lewis@mail.msen.com Chris Muller ma.chris.m@gmail.com Tim Rowledge tim@rowledge.org Marcel Taeumel Marcel.Taeumel@hpi.de Levente Uzonyi leves@caesar.elte.hu
Levente being the most urgent one, as he currently acts as "the" admin for the Squeak Board.
Thanks and best regards -Tobias
