Migration - To BlueHost.com

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Broken SQL After a tenuous moment when SiteGround.com notified me of a need to renew at their recently jacked up prices, I quickly told them NO. I must say their service has been largely good, despite a slight fiasco about how only 5GB of the 750GB allotted can be used for media and how my podcasts were all stolen movies. Media being defined as video,audio,pictures. I don’t know anyone with that many gigs of HTML…

The issue then arose that the Database for Wordpress was corrupted, and in this moment I decided it was a time for a move. Bluehost became a cheap alternative. I was definitely happy to see the CEO’s blog, and after some very knowledgeable reads I decided bluehost.com was worth a spin. It catered well to podcasting, which is something I wished to expand upon, so this was important to me.

After watching grass grow, erm I mean DNS names propagate I began recreating my site based on old database records. After doing some SQL injection I found my site back up and running.

I also took some time to clean up the look a little bit, and ditched ads, since those made me *maybe* something in the ballpark of $0.50 - $1.20 total.

So with this migration I will delay the Podcast until Sunday so I can do it right.
