This is a single post from deeden.co.uk made during the period May 2002 to April 2009. During a previous grand redesign I decided to make a break with the past and consign the old entries to history. This entry is from June 2006 and lives here forevermore.

A reasonably painless move

I’ve recently moved this site (and others) from where it was hosted before, the solid workhorse cabal, to a shiny new home at Dreamhost. Hopefully you never noticed a thing, or at most you saw a few old posts marked as new in whatever feed aggregator you use. I took the simple route in making the move and decided to change little while doing it, focussing instead on getting things up and running as before on a new host.

Dreamhost has been a pleasure to use, once I got over my initial feeling of being overwhelmed by the options in the control panel. The ability to add multiple dreamhosters.com domains to test on was invaluable, as was the associated ability to make those domains mirror another domain. This functionality allowed me to fully test deeden.co.uk before the DNS change took place.

I’m sure I’ll witter on about other goodies I’m getting to play with as time permits :)
