[Our stay with InMotion lasted about a year. They, too, expanded too fast and their services became CRAP. I wouldn’t recommend them. We moved to WiredTree.com and I wouldn’t recommend them, either, unless you are a BIG NERD. Their service is truly up 99.99% of the time, but their user interfaces suck. None of their control panels are integrated and they are very difficult to use, so they are not for n00bs. Good hosting is HARD to find. Meh.]
The transitions of all the sites has been smooth thanks to my own BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell)! Nick has worked tirelessly all weekend exporting databases and moving files. He’s down to the last two sites now. WOOHOO! Indigodragon.net is the last one to go since all the other domains were under it in that stupid setup that the previous host used. No more. Now all the domains are individual sites and everything is installed clean. And everything is working, too, imagine that.
The Gallery problem I was having is also cleared up now that the database is untangled from my blog database and the permissions were fixed. Funny how the ITX people just couldn’t seem to figure it out.
They also couldn’t figure out that thinkweasel.com, nickmizgala.net AND taqueriaelvecino.com were hacked, which is why they were squirrelly. Hmm, might have been those FOLDERS FULL OF HACKED FILES ON THE ROOT LEVEL OF THE ACCOUNT!! Just damn. The support system up there has collapsed upon itself. It’s a shame, too, I really like the owners. But they’ve let their employees slack off and it shows. Badly.
But now we are on our own virtual server with guaranteed resources and we’re already seeing the difference. This site has been slow for a couple of weeks (of course the ITX ppl had no idea what to do about it) and now it loads as it should. Yay!
Enjoy the speedy new hosting service. I know we will! :)
