New Host

This weekend I moved the site hosting over to godaddy.com, like I've been talking about for years now. My previous host, ev1.net, decided to get out of the shared hosting business as of this Friday. The changeover should have been invisible to you. I copied all the files over to GoDaddy, and tested the site under another domain name before I switched the DNS from the ev1 site. I had to tweak the blogger templates, the server-side includes wouldn't work with the full url, and then I had to update the blogger publishing settings, but I left the file structure the same, so I didn't have to make any major changes.

I had to call GoDaddy's tech support a couple of times to get my email up and running, and I have to say I have never had a better tech support experience. Both times the guys asked a minimum of information, quickly identified the problem, and fixed it in minutes. My maximum hold waiting for a technician was about 30 seconds, granted it's Labor Day weekend, maybe everyone else has a life, but the weekend is usually when the support sites are swamped. The only down side is that it isn't a toll free phone call, but I'm glad to pay a few cents a minute for great service.
