SliceManager API Documentation
The SliceManager API allows for the easy and convenient manipulation of your Slicehost account.
Our Slice tutorials and articles take you from VPS basics though to setting up, installing, administering and fixing issues even before they affect your website.
A consistent use of users and configurations are used throughout the articles. Please see Article Users and Configuration for more details.
Please feel free to request articles or comment with any suggestions or ideas of your own.
