A Good Problem. We’re Moving!
Ola!
There are bad problems and there are good problems, I always prefer the latter and I’ve got an excellent one.
This is one of those amazing posts that I only dreamt about all that time ago when the LastDropofInk was first started.
For the past few weeks the sheer volume of traffic to the site has meant we’re coming to the end of what can be done on shared web hosting. It’s time we grow up and find a new home on a beastly dedicated server to allow this site and its services to grow even further.
This weekend the site will be moving to a new home and will be locked down to a holding page for a few hours which the data is transferred and DNS settings updated. Besides that you shouldn’t notice any visual difference to the site after the move and over the next 2-3 weeks I’ll start tuning the server to improve performance.
Two years ago I made the decision to not worry about web hosting and just get on a creating content, the very first article was for Google TV. Since then with your help & support through all the conversations, emails, comments and support this site has grown & grown from a tens of hits each day to thousands and for that I am eternally grateful.
I’ve got to run and edit today’s Podcast on eBay variation listings, the target time for the release is 2pm today, so I better get my rear-in-gear and get editing!
Thank you so much for your support.
Speak soon,
Matt
Howdy,
Hopefully no-one noticed the swap over. Well except for a few late emails, just spotted I had not changed the mail server details :/ All done now though :)
