If you can read this …

… then my domain has finally propagated! dancin party

You see … I finally got fed up with my prior web host. As I mentioned here, things happened. Things that really ticked me off. And their poor support only added to things. It was the last straw.

My sites are now hosted on HostGator.com. Mace suggested it to me. He used to have the same host I did … and his sites were on the same server as mine. He got fed up too and switched. He passed along a coupon code too. Thanks again Mace. G-smile

As I type this post, I’m still (*patiently … maybe*) waiting for the DNS changes to propagate. But I’m still able to get here and post this. At least then you’ll know what’s up as soon as everything is switched.

I’m already really liking this host. They responded to my pre-sale questions email in about an hour. I sent another with additional questions, and about another hour later, I had another response. MUCH better support response time than the old host. And HostGator has 24/7 support. I’m not sure WHAT the other one has. It’s definitely NOT 24/7 … LOL.

I am paying close to twice what I was before (but it’s still only $10), but I went from having 300mb of web space to having 5gb of web space. That’s quite an upgrade. And the better support is DEFINITELY worth it.

And since I’ve got next week off (woohoo! VACATION!!), I’ll try to work on things. I really want to upgrade this blog to the newest version. But I want to make sure everything is working first. Mainly the layout.

Mood: settling in to my new home (on the web)
