Switching hosts
I have been content with paying a lot for a hosting service that takes 10 seconds to serve my WordPress dashboard. That is, when it serves anything and doesn’t just give me a blank page or a php file for download…
There may be downtime for dns changes and emergencies (I’ve never done this before, screwups may happen… :))
Update: Seems I managed that without any major problems. Never transferred anything other than plain, static html sites before, so I was a bit nervous about the whole deal with moving databases and stuff.
I decided to sign up with Dreamhost. Seems to be a good value deal, 20GB disk space and a whopping 1TB of transfer is plenty of room for a web hobbyist like myself to play around with. My old host only allowed one domain per account, but now I don’t have to invest anything but the 5-10 dollars for domain registration when I want to try something out. And I have an idea or two.
