I spent the last week migrating all my clients to two new servers. One is a reseller server and the other a ‘bare metal’ Virtual Private Server (VPS).
The week before that was spent canvassing my options. I funneled it down to 8 different hosting companies, emailing and chatting trying to get the best deal, reading and re-reading their offers to see through sales – speak and hidden charges only to in the end, end up with what looked like one of my most affordable options without giving up specs I required, but it turns out it had a renewal cost next year that will be nearly twice the sign up cost I just paid. This means if they don’t give a better option before my contract lapses I’ll be doing this again next year.
But I don’t mind you know why?
