I’m pleased to say I’ve switched from a shared hosting plan to a VPS (Virtual Private Server). The migration took some time / effort, but I’m pleased to say that it went very smoothly. My new hosting solution is much more powerful. I’ve upgraded to the latest version of WordPress along the way, installed BlazeDS, and Coldfusion 8. Best of all, I’m back on Linux and digging back into the power of the command line again. I love Linux…it’s great to be back! Bye bye Windows Server…won’t miss ya! The guys over @ Vivio Technologies have been really helpful so far!
Thanks Jordan, Tim, and Mark!
