September 2007


I’ve been busy lately moving web sites. After moving this site to Lunarpages, as mentioned in my previous post, a few days ago I moved WebTech U to DowntownHost.com

Both this site and WebTech U were sharing a server but I thought it was a good idea to have them on separate hosts, partly so I could see which one was the better over a period of time, and also if one server was out for an extended period of time I could swap web sites between the two hosts.

Then of course right on top of this out came an upgrade to the Wordpress Blog software – which I have now done.

Then to add more to the mix, my washing machine died slowly so I had to get a new one a few weeks ago, and today my refrigerator stopped working. Hopefully the problem seems to be the thermostat so the repair shouldn’t be too expensive or take too long.

I’ve moved this site from AussieHQ to Lunarpages today and it all went quite painlessly. The only changes I needed to do to any files were the database info for the Coppermine Photo Gallery and this Wordpress Blog.

To allow for the overlap between the old host and the new host as the Domain Name Servers updated around the world I set up mail forwarding on my email addresses to my other domain of 35SouthOnline.com so any emails that went to the old site could still be collected by me after I began to access the new location.

Everything has worked very smoothly.
