As I’ve mentioned on Twitter (And possibly on here) I was looking at moving the server again. This move has now taken place. We’ve moved from BuyVM to RAMHost.

People visiting from the EU should experience reduced load times (Statistics show +/- 500ms saved), and for US people it probably loads slower (Or BuyVM was so slow that it still loads just as fast).

I still need to set-up our caching server so you aren’t waiting for PHP to do its business.

Tag Clean-up

I also just went through the entire tag list, renaming tags, removing tags that were too generic and re-assigning some, and with this I also fixed some mistakes in various posts.

I also noticed tags aren’t showing on posts, and because of the clean-up they’re actually useful now, so I’ll also need to correct that in the future.

Yep that’s right, the blog has been moved once more, we already had the blog situated at Lonetrek Hosting for a while now but after having a thorough chat about it with Anthony (The owner and founder of Lonetrek Hosting) I decided to upgrade to the Grid Power package in combination with the 75% ISK discount.

This brought my hosting costs/year down by over 80% compared to HostGator, with Lonetrek I pay 30$ a year (+ 250m ISK for the discount) and with HostGator I had to pay over 120$ a year. So now the blog has moved over the shared subdomain has moved over and I’ll be moving over all my other websites too.

So mad props to Anthony for providing great and personalized support and I recommend everyone that’s thinking about self-hosting their blog or hosting a website or something to go for Lonetrek Hosting.
