Moving the site

Posted on Friday, July 4th, 2008 at 11:19 am

I’ve moved my website to a new server and a new URL in the process; you should see that the URL in your browser is now www.jefflog.com instead of jefflog.everybody.org. I haven’t decided whether this will be the new permanent URL or not. Photos are currently broken but I hope to have them back up in a couple of days.

Why the migration away from everybody.org? My buddy who does the bulk of the work on the everybody.org website is migrating away from running his own hardware to using virtual servers with hardware managed by someone else. It’s easier to manage and might even be cheaper in the long run. This website is one of the first to be moved. So far, I love it. It’s like having a whole server to myself, and if I need to upgrade something, A couple of weeks ago, I took down a number of websites when I tried to upgrade to Apache 2.2. Now if I try the same thing, I only have to worry about taking down my own site.

er… I should be clearer. The webhost itself is a virtual machine now. you’re shaing the virtual machine it with other people.
