Well, I did it again. I changed hosting providers for this blog. I was running it on a Ubuntu Linux image in a virtual machine at home here for the longest time. But I had to shut that down since I was converting all my virtual machines from VMware to Hyper-V and I wasn’t interested in fighting with Ubuntu to get it to work.
For a short while, I moved my stuff to the WordPress.com hosting site. They’re nice enough to allow free hosting of anyone’s blog there. It has quite a bit of limitations though.
- They say “Over one hundred themes”. They mean 102.
- Using your own domain name costs $12 per year (not bad really).
- No plugins allowed.
At least the email capability was working. I never got that working with my setup at home.
I ended up going with WebHostingHub.com since they offered a nice price for unlimited domains, data, and transfer. I was able to setup this blog under this domain, and another under my Dennis-IT.com domain. That’s where I’ll be talking about some programming projects I’m working on.
We’ll see how things go over the next three years here 🙂
