Shifted to a new server

I shifted this domain to a new server today, which means I will make a flurry of posts over the next couple of hours to catch up with what I had intended to file.

Unfortunately, the site was down for at least 12 hours.

What happened was Site5 migrated all their accounts to new servers, including mine. It was supposed to be a seamless transition, but I had trouble with several of my sites.

I had been thinking for a while about moving this domain and www.borderwatch.com.au to an Australian host.

I took the opportunity to relocate this site to Digital Pacific, a company I had dealt with happily in the past.

Site5 offered the advantage of hosting multiple domains on one account and virtually unlimited storage space.

The fact is I’m happy to host images away from my own domains, so space really isn’t an issue.

I really notice the speed of uploading to Digital Pacific was much faster.

I had trouble getting WordPress to load, until I realised it was a problem with the .htaccess file. Everything seems to be working now.
