Moving
posted in General |It’s that time again. I’ve been using free hosting from a previous employer (Hi Mike), but that’s coming to an end. It’s been free since 2004, and it’s time to move on. The problem I see is that DotManiac’s hosting plans are stupidly expensive. My plan here runs out at the end of the month.
So I’m looking for a new hosting company. I’m going to pay for it out of ArghWebWorks money, and move that site over as well; that way, the new hosting plan is tax deductable. I’m thinking, certainly more deductable. Frenzied Daddy gets more traffic than I feel comfortable putting on the server I maintain for Bill. Shared hosting is O.K. with me; that’s cheaper than renting a server or even a virtual server.
I’m looking at BlueHost, Site 5(that’s an affiliate link. I’ll spend the money wisely, I promise) and Dot 5. Do y’all have any opinions on them? I’m sort of leaning towards Site 5 because of their huge $5 deal; the only drawback is the two year contract (paid in advance). I don’t like that; in technical terms, 2 years is an eternity. However, at $120, that’s not a big barrier (as opposed to the 2 year contracts on a lot of cell phones).
