Moving the site hosting...

I have moved my hosting from Hostway to Go Daddy. I was going to switch to my friend Dave's server...but I do like having the option of being able to get mad at my web host if they do something wrong.

I've also switched the email from Go Daddy to Google Apps for your domain, since I like how their email works...

This has, however, led me to a discovery that I'm not a huge fan of. Apparently Gmail no longer allows you to check other gmail accounts...and since the email account is now technically a gmail account I can't have one centralized account to check all my email...annoying...but not a huge deal.

After some initial frustration (no ssh to the go daddy server) I was able to get things setup pretty quickly when I rethought about how to do things. It took me longer to uploaded the image files on my site, then it did to transfer over the data for the MySQL db and setup MovableType.

I signed a pretty lengthy contract, to get hosting for a long time...plus my other domains now forward to this one...so...I guess it's moved now.
