YouReadMyBlog

Yes, its been years since I have had my site on a server that was managed by someone else, but as university beckons and the shadows of an increasing debt cloud ride over me I’ve decided to pack up my £12/month VPS and move this blog over to One.com shared hosting.

For a little over £10 inc VAT I am subscribed to One.com for a year, this is a very reasonable price in my opinion and making the move will ensure that I no longer need to worry about keeping the server running, and more crucially, paying for it. I will be able to concentrate more on posting blogs (and my studies :P).

The VPS I have been using was becoming wasteful as all it was hosting is this blog and a few sites for friends – in my opinion – not enough to warrant a VPS. I will however miss the sense of freedom and control you get from private servers but the money saved outweighs the miss and I will install Linux on my PC again to play with .

Now to the important stuff – obviously I have to move the blog over to the new server and change the nameservers (at time of writing I’m still on the VPS) So you may notice some downtime whilst I do this but all-in-all hopefully the site will be back up and functioning by the end of the day.
