So this is the second time I've had to post this because I'm an idiot and somehow published it originally while stripping out all of the text. Pretty annoying. To that end this is the short version. So on the recommendation of a friend i switched to Gandi for my hosting a year ago when I was looking for a new host. They were just launching their hosting service and were only charging $7.50 a month for it. This seemed pretty good and although it was a 'beta' featured they seemed to be on top of things. Unfortunately although things started good on Gandi they had a huge datacentre failure early on and my server never seemed to recover. Gandi support claimed everything was fine but it wasn't and there were serious 24/7 slowness issues with it. They recently announced that their beta period was over and starting in January they would be changing the price to $16 a month. This was the straw that broke the camel's back and I immediately decided it was time for a new host.

Well that was interesting. Tyler decided he didn't really want to be the admin of a server for our little group of guys, and really I can't blame him so it was finally time to get my own server. I settled on Gandi as my new host and you may have noticed the blog was down for a bit and then back up last week for a short time. Well unfortunately a 2 days after I set this puppy back up Gandi suffered a massive failure (to their credit they are working very hard to prevent this sort of thing from happening again, I got very good support from them, and they gave me a refund for the month) which was incredibly annoying. In any case that is all behind us now and the site is back up again. Maybe this time I'll even update it! I forgot to back up my old uhh.. post(s) so a fresh start it is!

Hosting Change

Back Again (again)
