Moved hosts, a pain

Posted January 4th, 2009. Filed under Computers, Internet, Tech Uncategorized

Fed up with 3ix and their servers that kept dropping offline all the time I decided to pull the plug on them. On December 1st I logged on to my site only to find out that it had randomly eating up all the bandwidth for that month. I had to temporarily move my site to Microsoft’s Live Spaces services. I chose Live Spaces at the time because I was experimenting with the Skydrive services and the fact that they had upgraded it to 25gigs. Then yesterday Lifehacker posted an amazing deal with Dreamhost, a hosting service that I have used in the past with old projects that I’ve worked with. It only took a couple of minutes to get a WordPress backup and reinstall it on a fresh install on the new host. Personally I think that is the best way to move your WordPress site from one host to another.
