Moved to a new server, site

by Dan Brandenburg

TysonThank God!  It took forever, but after years with ReliableHosting, I moved to Godaddy this summer to host my websites.  Thanks Justin for suggesting the most confusing, unorganized, feature-pimping website on the planet — GRRRRR  I hated Godaddy.  Fortunately, while I was experimenting with my move to Godaddy, I also began working on hosting another site at Hostmonster.  Wow….Hostmonster’s administrative interface is simple, clear, effective, and not cluttered with 100,000 suggestive sales ads. 

Anyway, after days of messing with Godaddy and getting everything prepared for yet another move, I’ve moved almost all of my sites over to Hostmonster and I couldn’t be happier.    The only good thing I can say about Godaddy is that they have INCREDIBLE customer service.  If you need help doing something, a quick call will let you find a customer service rep who will walk you through every step of their confusing administrative screens.  On the flip side, I’d much rather have a simple interface and just make the changes myself rather than wasting cell phone minutes.

Oh well…the site is launched now.  Now it’s time to configure and personalize.  Wish me luck.
