New Hosting for Instigator Blog

by Ben Yoskovitz

I’ve moved hosting companies because my old one was falling apart. This is a quick test post to make sure the DNS is propagating properly.

You should not have to update your RSS feeds, but when you see this message in your RSS feed, please click through and take a look to make sure everything is working properly. I appreciate it.

There may be a few hiccups along the way as I get all the plugins re-installed and configured, so bear with me. And I do plan on blogging more in the near future, Standout Jobs has kept me swamped.

Incidentally, I’ve moved to Media Temple and purchased their Grid Service (gs) hosting. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Media Temple, although immediately after purchasing I heard some bad things (from someone I trust). So we’ll see how it goes.

Testing this out now that I’ve removed DISQUS.

Just came from the rss feed. Everything looks good to me

@Dereck: Thanks. Glad it’s working. I miss the reply feature from Disqus, but I’m getting so much less spam sneaking through, so it makes my life easier.

Looks good to me too.

Everything is OK, Ben.

Looks good Ben. Just curious…Who are you using now?

@Phil: I went with Media Temple. They have a solid reputation and their setup was very easy. Admittedly I did hear 1 negative review about their GS service (which is what I purchased) so the jury is still out.

Media Temple is for high traffic blogs.. But I think it is not for me.. Shared hosting for the meantime with dreamhost

Oops just posted with my normal SEO moniker before reading the text here saying not to Sorry - change the post to my real name if you like…

Please use your real name or a handle that's not driven by trying to gain SEO / Google Juice from my blog. If you put in a "name" designed for SEO purposes, I will edit it. I support the DoFollow movement, but this is also a community, and comments are meant to inspire discussion, not gain link love. Thank you!
