The migration to Linode is complete
by Jim on Aug.16, 2009, under Site Related, The real world, web hosting
I mentioned previously that the site would be moving to a new host, Linode. Well I can now confirm that everything has worked out fine and for all the hard work I’ve treated this place to a new lick of paint. I hope you like the new look! The site loads faster for me, so I hope that’s the case for everyone (my 3 avid readers.)
I have copied across all the articles from Tech-Rant, as I plan on deleting the site. I know Google penalizes duplicate content, but the old site should disappear in a few months. I have FINALLY found a download manger for Wordpress, so the old downloads database can be moved here too. I guess the downloads will work a lot better now they are supported by 25Mbit of bandwidth, instead of whatever could be salvaged from the line at Dreamhost. I’ve kept all my domain names with Dreamhost, they never caused me any problems so I felt like keeping some business with them.
The SpeedForever Trackmania server is also being hosted here; although, that ran fine on my home connection.
Hopefully I will try to post more often, even if I can just schedule some dull posts here and there.

How are you finding linode? I’ve used it once before but had a few problems so switched back to Dreamhost which I was on before.

Linode is currently working out smoothly. It takes a while to get everything set up, unlike Dreamhost where it’s all done for you.

Its good that you moved your Tech-Rant site over… I actually found that first, but I couldn’t comment, it was broken or something. Anyhow, I like this theme better and I’m glad to see you are still blogging.
Just when you think no one is reading, look at me, a new (avid) reader
-Cheers again,
