Jim posted a note to his site earlier this week, we decided that the best thing to do for his site is to move it from our server at home to a web provider. We’re really happy with the speed we’re getting from Charter, but we’re unable to get a static IP (a necessary to hosting your own DNS server) and rather than go through a 3rd party service, we decided to move the whole shebang to Lunarpages. (not that I’m biased or anything, but they rule dontchaknow! ;))
Guess what I’ll be doing this weekend? ;)
Actually, it’ll be good for his site. The speed and stability will be MUCH better, plus LP has excellent customer support. (And the move from a Windows environment to Linux will make site administration a lot easier, IMO) Of course, I’ll be there to help him learn where everything is in CPanel and the various LP account menus, and help him export and re-import his blog once the files are all in place.
So if you find the site down this weekend, just assume that we’re mucking around in its guts and it’ll be back up and running again faster than you can open that spam sitting in your Inbox offering you ‘phentermine without prescription‘!! :lol:
Today’s payday and I’m going shopping with my mother tomorrow. (Shopping is good, mmmkay?) We’ll probably take it easy this weekend otherwise … for the most part our efforts are going to be put towards saving for the Mickey Trip. :mrgreen:
Have a good weekend, y’all! ;)

Mickey sucks, but Disney World is cool. :razz:

Hay Babie, did you guys ever think of a dynamic DNS?
There is a free service available from http://www.dyndns.com/
that is very useful when you want to host a site at home and
can’t get a static IP. Perhaps a Mickey cruse of The Caribbean
would be the ticket.
