Moving Hosts

by Sapphire (March 14, 2007)

I’m moving hosts again.  Not Project B-2 Bomber that had the Site5 disaster a month ago - I’m still pleased with Fluid now that we’ve got the initial kinks out.  If it continues to do well, I think we have a permanent new home.

It’s another batch of sites I’m moving.  This time, just to save a few bucks.  I’m at the end of my paid period with one host, and they’ve done fine (other than several hours of downtime last weekend, but even that didn’t really bother me since that was all the downtime I had in 6 months, and these sites aren’t as community-driven or mission critical as B-2).  But Nitrozone had an amazing deal at WebHostingChat that I didn’t want to pass up (note the free WHM add-on that makes them reseller accounts).  I found nothing but good reviews and good stats for them, going back several years (just staying in business a few years is comforting with hosts).  I took the annual deal, so I’m paying even less than I might have been.

There’s another crazy cheap deal I’m not even going to link to here - it’s a reseller account for $2.50, and I am so tempted to just give it a whirl and see what happens.  Maybe stick a new domain on there and test it for a month before entrusting established sites to it.  It’s an Indian host, and while some people think that makes it suspicious, I’ve had a couple of crazy cheap Indian hosts that gave me 99.9% uptime over a year.  And really, with what I’m paying for Nitrozone, I can spend that $2.50/month and still come in under what I was paying for the old host.

Something to think about.  I don’t really need another hosting package beyond the two I’ve got,  but you never know.
