Server Changes

I just moved all of my sites off my (mt) dedicated virtual in order to get things straightened out. If you notice any performance issues, which you probably wont since you’re reading this in Google Reader, please tell me. I’m currently just on the (mt) grid. Yes, back on the (mt) grid after all that bickering before.

My master plan is to wash the (dv) clean, start out using plesk and see how far I go. I want to install redmine first and get all my repositories setup straight before I make the move back.

One thing I have to get working is the auto update functionality on my own server, since the latest WP update I’ve had problems getting it to work but determined it was the result of me locking down my server a little too much. But since I’m on the grid, it just works perfect and I can now see why it’s such a killer feature, since I just updated all of my plugins in minutes and downloaded a installed a few more without having to use s/ftp.

I’m still contemplating moving everything back, especially if the grid lives up to my expectations there would be no reason to move back any of the sites I manage – including this one
