New host for BillDay.com

About a year ago I wrote of troubles I’d been having with my site host, NTT Verio.

Unfortunately, the troubles have continued. My site’s been attacked because of holes in their security and been taken down because of NTT Verio making changes without informing me. Worst of all, they haven’t dropped their price any while other, more WordPress-compatible services have gotten cheaper and cheaper while offering more and more bandwidth, disk space, and software features.

It was time to move, so I have. BillDay.com is now proudly brought to you by yours truly with a little help from Dreamhost.

The basic “Crazy Domain Insane!” Dreamhost plan rocks with the following capabilities at signup:

• 4800 MB disk storage (increases 40 MB/week after that)
• 120 GB monthly bandwidth (increases 1 GB/week after that)
• unlimited number of MySQL databases
• secure shell access (ssh/scp/sftp)
• free domain registration and hundreds of email addresses for the life of your account
• easy installs for a bunch of goodies including WordPress, Jabber IM, phpBB, MediaWiki, and more
• $9.95/month ($7.95/month with two year prepayment)

And that’s just their entry level plan.

There may be a little bit of dust here as I settle into the new digs, but once it’s cleared, there are some new features I plan to roll out sometime soon. Watch for more, and if you’re shopping for a new host yourself, give Dreamhost a look to see if they meet your needs as well as they’ve met mine.
