Web Hosting for Dummies

Posted on | June 18, 2007 |

Is it bad to trash your hosting service on your blog?

We’ve been experiencing some frustrating down-time here at tadandmel & purlingplans, which we’ve been noticing every couple of days recently, and which a couple of readers have reported to us as well (thanks!). So we’re looking for a new host - we’ve gotten a couple recommendations for ICDSoft and Bluehost - Anyone out there have any other input or have a hosting service that you’re really happy with? We went with Globat initially after researching online, but would really like to go with a company that comes recommended. Thanks for any thoughts or input!

I have so much that I want to post about right now, unfortunately blogging energy has been a little light due to other inevitable life stuff recently (work - ACK!, family, walking, knitting, etc. etc. - not the least of which were some incredible gastrointestinal pyrotechnics from Mathias which sucked up the better part of this evening and christened my spinning wheel bag <cries>), but expect some updates on the following soon!

• The MagKnits project

• An interview from Elizabeth (I haven’t forgotten - I’ve just been distracted putting a lot of thought into my answers!)

• Spinning (believe it or not!)

• Goals check in

• 3Day training (we did a 14-miler yesterday!)

• Concerts & other fun life stuff

• The wonder that is Ravelry (Love it! Just haven’t had a chance to tell you about it, though I’m sure you are hearing about it everywhere - it really is THAT good! Come say hi if you’re on!)

• The Garden (with a capital “G” - I was kidding about the whole hostile takeover thing, but now I am actually getting a little Concerned.  With a capital “C”.

And there it is folks - I’ve killed yet another night that I should have spent knitting.  Unfortunately cleaning up poop, comforting the Little Man and saving my spinning wheel bag took precedence.  And then of course, I had to “unwind” with this meager blog post and an adult beverage.  Thank goodness he missed the vents in the floor, can you imagine the horror?
