New server

I have moved the hosting for this site to a new server at Host Gator. I was getting more and more annoyed with the "service" I was getting from eDataRack. The site was mind-numbingly slow to load and the service went down twice in the middle of the day. On Thursday it went down again, and this time I thought for a while that I had lost eveything that I had on the server (no problem for the website, for which my master copy is on my computer, but I would have lost eveything on my blog, which was not backed up).

So, eDataRack is trash, and HostGator rocks. I can host an unlimited number of websites with no extra charges, sharing 50GB of bandwith and 5 GB of disk space for only $10 per month. That is just amazing. I have built/am building about 5 other web sites for various people, and hosting them off of this server will allow me to save lots of money. I have also contacted their online tech support chat twice and received quick, easy responses to my questions. That is the service I am looking for.

If you notice a speed difference, that is the reason why. If you find any problems with the site, please let me know. If you are interesed in trying out HostGator, they have a 30-day money-back guarantee and there are one-month-free coupons on the web if you search for them.
