Blog - Moving... Moved!
Moving... Moved!
I moved this site to another host today, it all went pretty smooth!
Since about last September, it only takes a few minutes for DNS to propagate instead of hours as it used to be, and indeed it only took about maybe 20 minutes until I could see the change.
I was getting pretty tired of my previous host (iPowerWeb) with who I had all sorts of problems in the past. In the case of another domain, their lack of decent support made me pack up and move to another host against my will, because they wouldn't fix what they broke, leaving me no other choice.
In this case (chipple.net), it didn't go all that bad so I waited until the end of my contract with them. A few weeks ago however, I was feeling a bit of weight when they refused to sync the server's time. It was a good 10 minutes off!, while I'm the type who likes to keep sync'd with an atomic clock (thanks to the great SelfCron). Will their server remain late forever? I'm not staying to tell.
Also they run a 2-year old version of cPanel (cPanel 5, instead of the better cPanel X), they have no way for users to keep their raw logs (it gets truncated every few days randomly), and, and... well I could go on and on.
I'm now done with them.
Now all my sites are hosted with the small, friendly, cheap and effective PenguinHost.net which has been serving me well for a year now.

the move sounds like a good thing, you probably know this already, but your side bar, where the music you are listening to is usually located looks all screwy. i'm seeing this:
Warning: main(/home/chipplen/public_html/mt/moblog/mobar.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/chipple/public_html/in/header2.php on line 91
and it's flooding over onto the main blog.

Oops, still a few glitches. :) Thanks for letting me know! Should be working now!
I'm still also dealing with some initial email trouble that should be fixed soon.

About an hour without any spam felt almost strange. :)

penguinhost! Why didn't I know about this when I changed hosts recently? $6 per mo for 2GB is cheap!

The space and bandwidth sure aren't issues with these guys. :)
