Been busy, changing hosts

Jul 17, 2007

I’ve been having severe problems with my previous hosts (I won’t mention their name; they are good guys otherwise) and if you visited this blog in the past few days you must have encountered repetitive problems. Small outages and email-related problems had been a norm, and recently they literally accused me of sending spam mails when it was some problem with their own email server. I have no reason to send spam and in fact spam will harm my business — 100% of the time my clients approach me through my content writing website, through this blog, or through referrers (most of my clients recommend my services).

Anyway, I’ve changed to Dreamhost (the link contains my referral code) and so far I love their interface. I had many websites and blogs hosted on the previous host (still have some) and I’ve been gradually transferring them to the new server — a time consuming and a treacherous task. The day before yesterday when I shifted amrithallan.com I forgot to create my official email address that I use to interact with my clients. As a result a few new clients who tried to contact me through my contact form couldn’t do so. Fortunately some of them noticed the Skype button on my website and contacted me.

I hope to resume normal blogging from tomorrow onwards. Thanks for visiting.
