Time to get some hosting

Apr 7, 2009 Misc

For the last 4 or so years this site has been hosted at home over my DSL line. In that time period I’ve been through several ISPs and physical addresses and numerous versions of WordPress.

Recently my provider had an outage that dragged on for well over 24 hours and resulted in me churning my DSL service to a new ISP. It took a while to update the routing following the move so this site was down for the better part of a week. I think it is finally time to move this site over to dedicated hosting where it is less prone to these sorts of problems.

I have some issues with most my current hosting provider not allowing me to have SRV records in my zonefile (needed for jabberd) but moving the web side of things over shouldn’t be much of an issue. I’m also going to take the opportunity to go back through the old posts and clean out ones with link rot.

Here are my current response time stats from the Google webmaster console:

Let’s see how they look after the move.
