There are big changes afoot!

I have a new domain (loving the new URLs!), new hosting, and a bit of a change of colours on the blog.

Hosting has been moved from 2mhost to Linode. 2mhost has always worked well for me. I initially joined them because they provided cheap PHP5 hosting at a time when this was far from commonplace, but for me, their uptime and support has been excellent – far better than I would have expected from their price point.

I made the change to a VPS solely because I wanted more flexibility, and Linode have so far been excellent for me. They offer a wide choice of Linux distros (I went for Ubuntu 10.4), full shell access, and a managed backup solution for very, very reasonable rates. There’s even an android app to help you manage your account!

I would happily recommend both hosts at this time.

Please let me know if you come across any 404s or gremlins lurking here after the site move!

(Disclosure: link to Linode contains my referral number. But rest assured, if I fall out with them, I’ll be posting that here too!)
