New hosting for LinuxSoftware website

bluehost If you’re reading this, then the DNS entries have updated and I’ve finally made the move from SliceHost to BlueHost. SliceHost had been a good home, but I can’t justify the cost of running my website there any longer. It was cool to have complete control over a whole virtual machine, but I really haven’t done anything that custom with it….. I’ll just experiment with that stuff on my home server. BlueHost has a good reputation. I’ve suggested it to my friends for their websites. Now I’ve taken my own advice.

The move took a lot longer than I’d hoped. I guess that’s what happens when you try and migrate 1248 photos, 10 years of Wiki edits and 3 years of blogs over. Was great to have SSH access once I requested it, and it was set up almost immediately too. I don’t think I’d have got things working if I was still struggling with just FTP and the Web File Explorer interface.

I know the site is running a bit slower, but apart from that I hope everything is OK. I want to move the Wiki from CGI to FastCGI, but will do that later. Please leave a comment if you see anything that is broken.
