If you didn’t see the post about moving last night, you weren’t alone. I posted about the switch to the new server and how I wouldn’t be updating until the change was completed.

The change is completed!

—————————–

The DNS replication was much faster than I anticipated. I guess it has been several years since I have had to change name servers on a domain. There were times when you could be waiting a day or so for the changes to be completed. The entire change of my domain from one server to the other once I changed the nameservers was only 15 minutes. Impressed!

In case you are wondering. I moved my hosting from godaddy to a2hosting. Nothing wrong with godaddy for the size site I have, and the bandwidth I am pushing. It worked fine. But the hosting features are what I needed, and while they do provide some features, A2 makes godaddy look like fisher-price hosting. I also looked at acornhosting. I really liked what they were doing, and it would have probably felt better for a while to have moved to them. Alas, A2 had the most features for the best price and a fair amount of disk space and bandwidth.

There are probably some issues going on with the site right now. I haven’t had time to check out every nook and cranny but I am getting around to all of the plugins, scripts, and other php hacks to make sure most of them work. I have disabled those that don’t until I can get around to recoding them. Some theme issues, but I will have those worked out sometime today.

Hang in there, it can only go uphill from here.
