A New Host

I’ve added a new experience to my list of computer/internet related ventures, I have successfully moved my blog to a new host. A couple of hours last night and an hour or so this morning took care of it without any major hassles. Admittedly, moving WordPress isn’t too difficult, especially when you’re keeping the same domain name. Nonetheless, I had to redirect my domain name to new nameservers and transfer the files and the databases for two blogs.

Why the move? The main reason is that with my new host I have more space and bandwidth at a lower price. My former hosting company was prompt with service requests, etc. However, dollars do count, especially when I hope to add more sound and video files as time goes on. Also, my former hosting service servers were slow and it often took a while for my pages to appear. With as light-weight as my blog is, that shouldn’t be the case.

Who is my new host? I’m now using BlueHost.com. I’ll let you know how they work out.
