I’m on a real drive to simplify everything in my Internet Business right now. There have been a few things that I haven’t been quite happy with from an organizational standpoint.

I’ve just moved to my new server at http://www.mylowpricewebhost.com and I’m really pleased that the move appears to have gone smoothly. Give it time for the gremlins to appear.

This is the first time I’ve had access to cPanel and I’m loving it, I’ve never had awstats available to me before, I had to rely heavily on Google Analytics which didn’t give me everything I needed. My old host used a frankly confusing custom control panel and the prices they charged were daylight robbery!

I’ve also moved all my mail from my many different accounts over to Gmail . As soon as the propagation with my domain has settled down I’m going to sign up for Google Apps and use their hosted email service. This simply means I’ll be using Gmail with my own domain instead of @googlemail.com.

I’ve also upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 which appears to be a fairly solid release. All this in the name of streamlining and improving productivity! I’ve still a few things I want to clean up on my local PC, and some other systems I need to put in place but we’re heading in the right direction.

I’ve had a fair bit of luck with all these new transfers etc. and I’m a little nervous as nothing has gone wrong yet… Hope I haven’t spoken too soon!

    Glad your transfer went well, and thank you’ve finally escaped the Mordor of hosting ;)

    My contract doesn’t expire until Feb 2009 but I had to get away! Still have to pay for it til then… :(

    Great to see you back on the forum Nathan!

    John, can you never leave anything alone?! ;) LOL

    You know I try and wind you up but it never seems to work! Glad you’re upgraded and using WP 2.6 though, I thought I’d have to persuade you to start using that version. (All we need to do is get Robin to upgrade now!)

    BTW, your blog is filling up nicely! :D

    Thanks
    Mark

    Mark, I thought you didn’t notice that you wound me up! I thought it just came naturally to you!

    I didn’t like to say! :)
