I’m back …

At least, I think I’m back. The post before this one was in mid-November. Shortly after that, my hosting provider, AplusNet, was sold and the buyer migrated all severs to a new location. That migration was a nightmare and left me unable to post to this blog.

I’d been with Aplus for about 10 years so I wasn’t eager to leave. They’d provided great service and until November, I’d had no problems. But the more I talked to them after the migration, the more pissed I became. My help desk ticket was rolled into one massive ticket for all WordPress problems, so I couldn’t get any visibility into what was being done to fix it or when we might get a solution. I assume a lot of people with WordPress installs are having problems after the migration. When I asked for a refund for my hosting fees so I could go elsewhere, they refused.

Then my favorite gun-nut blogger, Say Uncle, suggested I give his hosting provider a shot. So far, I’m very impressed with Hosting Matters. Price is right. Everything works as advertised. I’m going to give it a week or two and then pull the plug on all my stuff that’s over on AplusNet.

Moral of this story: AplusNet sucks ass. Total ass. Avoid them like the plague.

To-do: If you see anything broken/strange/odd on here (I mean, aside from the usual broken/strange/odd stuff I tend to spit out), send me a note so I can troubleshoot it. Best I can tell, the move went well, but I’m sure there are a few broken things dangling here and there.

And Happy New Year.
