Moving hosts (slowly)

Those who have followed and cared, have noticed I’ve changed hosts a few times over the years. Most of the time due to changing technical interests, whether it be Java/JSP, or PHP, or ASP.NET. Well, this time I was also looking to reduce my monthly cost, especially since I have too much of a package right now for my needs, and since I run a PHP-based blog, it was a perfect time to find a Linux-based host, as they’re usually cheaper.

I did much, much research, as there are some out there that are really overselling their servers. They give you tons of space and bandwidth for about $4. Which is fine until their servers get overloaded.

So, ignoring my own advice, I went with one of them. 🙂 Actually I picked this one because they are running a special for their 7th anniversary, $9.24 FOR ONE YEAR! Yes, unbelievable, for less than 10 bucks, I’m willing to try them, as they actually got good reviews for being a potential overseller; they seemed to have very good uptime.

I’ll have more details later, to provide a link for you guys, as I think I can get some referral money for it 🙂 I’ll also provide the ‘non-referral’ link for the non-charitable folk…

New Deer Park RCs released

OK, perhaps you should just monitor Asa’s blog, cuz on Friday another round of Deer Park alphas were released. I’m so lame….
