Moving Servers

Friday, March 23, 2007

Just a short blog post to let you know that LittleFish Web Design is moving servers this week, so I may disappear off into cyberspace for a while before returning.

I started off hosting with Supanames, who provide a convenient 'all in one' package - domain name and hosting in one. However, I quickly outgrew what they could provide and decided to look for an alternative host. I still recommend them for good, basic web hosting when you're not trying to do too much with dynamic (PHP) files and RSS feeds (if you want RSS you have to apply for that particular feed address to be added to their firewall rules).

I considered GoDaddy and Hostgator - both are big reputable hosts with 99.9% uptime guarantee, more traffic (bandwidth) than you can shake a stick at, allow subdomains blah blah blah. Customer service for both has been really good so far.

In the end, I transferred our .com and .co.uk domain names to GoDaddy and 1and1 respectively (you've got to get the cheapest deal!) and chosen hosting with Hostgator.

Now, I'm just waiting to set the nameservers and then have to wait for them to resolve. Simple as that!
