A switch to a new host…

30 March 2017 Rob Buckley TMINE Post a comment

Well, it’s nearly been a decade since I switched web host, but Livingdot has proven so unreliable, inept and pricey in the past year (well, more than usual) that I’ve decided it’s time to switch host again. Actually, I was going to switch some time in the next month, but this morning, Livingdot decided I’d gone over my bandwidth limit for the month (“Please be informed that cPanel calculates bandwidth per month basis.… The bandwidth will be reset by 1st of next month”), even though my payment schedule is from the 25th of the month, so I figured I might as well push it through now, rather than pay Livingdot some more money for the extra bandwidth. Apologies to anyone looking for TMINE this morning and who couldn’t find it…

So far, A2 Hosting seems to be okay and at the very least has neither a bandwidth limit nor a storage limit, all for half the price, so I’m pleased. Hopefully, everything’s been migrated properly, but if you notice anything amiss, let me know.
