I ended up buy a fourth of a file server at HostGator.com<\/a>. I spent some time this afternoon looking at our disk space and bandwidth needs, and this is more than adequate for now. At some point we may have to move up to a true dedicated file server (which is what I was planning to do at GoDaddy), but this suits me better for now, if only because I won’t have to be my own sysadmin.<\/p>\n

I’m waiting for the booger to be set up now. Once it is, I’m going to move one or two hosted accounts over to see how things go. We control 66 domains right now, but only about half of those are hosted. The rest, like BloodhoundBlog.net<\/a>, are redirected to hosted accounts. In any case, in addition to BloodhoundBlog, we have four hosted accounts with WordPress weblogs on them, so I’ll be able to practice moving WordPress installations before I have to move the big dog.<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m aiming for late Saturday night. Things could change, but I’ll give plenty of advance warning. We’ll certainly be down for some amount of time as Domain Name Servers around the globe take note of our new IP address. With luck, it won’t be a very long time.<\/p>\n

And: This little problem sucked the marrow right out of my day. On the plus side, as soon I am able to play with the new host, I can start moving sites. The GoDaddy-hosted sites are all pre-paid, but a bunch of them are coming due shortly, with eggs hatching in succession thereafter. Smaller, low-bandwidth sites have never been a problem, so I’ll move them as I can.<\/p>\n

But think about new<\/i> sites. I control a quarter-server with unlimited domain hosting. Every new site we build will be hosted “for free,” as a part of our overhead costs. Moreover, Teri Lussier just saved a bunch of money: We can host her to-be-built weblog “for free.” Right now, we spend about $43 a year for a new single-property weblog. As of tonight, that cost is around $7.50 a year, the discounted cost of the Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
