Pardon our dust
I’m finally getting around to moving a lot of my sites off of the machine under my desk in the office here in the apartment in San Mateo. There’s a couple of reasons, not all of which can be revealed right now.
Anyway, this means that access to this site and others should be faster (and lower latency). While my home DSL has never been particularly unreliable, I suspect that the hosted solution is going to be even better.
So far, I’ve moved nameservice off onto the new machine, and Athena’s site-under-construction I need to grow a pair and get my mail hosting moved as well. That’s the scary bit, since I kinda need my mail. Right now I pretty much just redirect everything to my GMail account.
Anyway, I’m going to throw out a shout out with big props to Slicehost. Clicking on that link will actually take you to a referral page, which is great for me (or you can just give them my email address). They come highly recommended by me and others, and it takes literally 5 minutes to get from entering your account information (reasonable rates, IMHO) to having a root shell on a virtual machine. Their admin tools are not fancy, but have everything you’re likely to need, and I’ve had no problems with the infrastructure.
