New digs

I just fin­ished the most pain­less server tran­si­tion I've ever experienced.

My host­ing deal with godaddy was about to renew, so I looked around for another deal, and I ended up going with bluehost.com. Here's the vitals:

• 300 Giga­byte Host­ing Space
• Host Unlim­ited Domains
• 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
• 3,000 GIGS of Transfer
• SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats
• CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL

$7.95/month when you buy a year. $6.95 if you buy two years.

I used Trans­mit (www.panic.com) to syn­chro­nize all files from my old host to a local folder, and then just syn­chro­nized from the local folder to my new host!

Both hosts offer php­MyAd­min, so it was easy to export my data from one host and import to the other.

Done within a few hours.
