Don't Back Down

Moving Servers »

I'm in the process of moving servers, and one of the casualties is the individual archives. For some reason they are causing a PHP memory error. You should be able to read things via the main page, and the other archives seem to be working fine too - but the individual archive isn't working just right. The other sites seem to be working okay as well. Hopefully everything should be straightened out shortly.

Update 5/16: Let me know if you're still seeing a problem. I've revereted to the old server for the time being as I work on some database issues.

Update 5/17: I think it's done. I'm now running on a new host (pair), and am thus far very happy with the performance of the sites (they are very fast). In the interim I went through another host (Host Gator), and while the performance was okay, as was the support, I couldn't do some things that I wanted to do (notably a shell). They also have restrictive email policies and restricted my php scripts so that I could not run MT in dynamic mode. Ayway, everything should be working again. Let me know if you see any problems.

Update 5/17: I just received a phone call from someone at Hostland, where you can sign up up to 5000 sites for $50 per month with no credit card. Interesting. Anyway, he apparently wanted to know if I was interested in being an affiliate because he found out I was an affiliate for Host Gator. This, perhaps two days after I signed up with some interest in Host Gator's affiliate program (he didn't seem to know how he got my phone number). Draw your own conclusions here, but it's safe to say I won't be returning to Host Gator at this point.

Update 5/17: If you have made the unfortunate choice of signing up for Host Gator's affiliate program, they do have an "update" link which not only allows you to opt out of emails, but also allows you to remove your phone information from your profile and delete your account entirely. This may or may not prevent your information from being passed on, but if you get to it quickly enough, perhaps it will help. Good luck.
