If you’re reading this post, it means you have successfully reached this blog on its new server.
After three years with U.S.-based SiteGround, and not particularly impressed with their customer service after an unfortunate emergency a little while back, I decided to wait until my two-year agreement had expired and move the site to Montreal-based iWeb. It’s not an endorsement (ask me in a couple of years and we’ll see), but the fact that they’re closer to home and don’t charge extra for things that should be free make me more comfortable.
Anyway, the transition should be entirely transparent (in fact, considering my experience with software projects in general and dealing with servers in particular, I’m a bit surprised how easily and seamlessly it all worked). The entire database has been moved over, so all 3,157 posts, 17,678 comments and about 240MB of photos and audio clips are still here at their same URLs. Hopefully, nothing except this post should give any indication that anything has changed.
If there is something obscure that I missed, please let me know by commenting below.
And now that this project is over, I can get back to working on content again.
Good luck at your new virtual home.
Seems fine to me… welcome back to Canada.
The problem is, until there is a problem, you don’t know if your host is dependable or not. So far my server treated me right. But then again, I have had no problems…
I had a problem with iWeb once, though I never understood why. But it got fixed, so that’s that.
